Congrats Troy on your new pup. My youngest daughter’s dog of 13 years died last night. Soooo sad. Not sure what was wrong with her dog. She was bleeding from inside out. Not sure if she had gotten hit by a car. Just very heartbreaking….

The H1N1 flu virus could kill between 30,000 and 90,000 deaths in the United States and “poses a serious health threat” the Obama administration’s advisory group on Science and Technology said in a report released Monday.

Deaths would be concentrated among children and young adults, according to the report. In contrast, the typical seasonal flu kills between 30,000 and 40,000 annually — mainly among people over 65.

The report predicts 1.8 million will be hospitalized during the epidemic, with up to 300,000 patients requiring intensive care units.

These patients could occupy 50-100 percent of all ICU beds in affected regions at the peak of the epidemic and would place “enormous stress” on ICU units.

President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology,says under its model scenario, “the resurgence of the epidemic would start in September and peak in mid-October. If this model is approximately correct with respect to timing, a vaccination campaign would not begin to protect vaccines until well after the epidemic had peaked.”

Yet, I read earlier today that Kathleen Sebelius says the vaccine will be delayed until sometime around Thanksgiving.

So what is the point in taking it if the peak will be in mid-October?????

cynkading – sorry to hear about your daughter’s dog. There is a disease that causes that but right now I can’t think of what it is called. It happened to my mother’s dog who was very old. Her whole body filled up with blood.

Just who is going to be left to be the slaves for the illumnati? BTW On Special Report with Brett Beir, Krauthammer hit the nail on how predictable the Obama Administration are. This CIA issue is just another diversion to get the pressure off the Health Care Bill. I really don’t think this will fly. The people are on to them. 🙂

First High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIP) Log Obtained
The Obama Administration has decided to put interrogations of top-ranking human-caused political catastrophes (or whatever insipid euphemism they’re using now for TERRORISTS) under a new group answerable only to the White House. Meanwhile, Obama’s Attorney General is set to begin prosecuting CIA personnel who conducted interrogations during the Bush Administration.

Below is a transcript of an Interrogation Log using the new Rules For Guest Combatant Questioning obtained by The Dread Pundit Bluto from a confidential source.

The detainee arrives at the interrogation lounge. His sunglasses are removed and he is seated in an overstuffed La-Z-Boy recliner with massage option. SGT A and SGT R are the interrogators. A DoD linguist and MAJ L (BSCT) are present. MS Z (Amnesty International) is present as an observer. MR H (ESQUIRE) is present as detainee counsel.
0935:
Session begins. Detainee is given a mocha latté grandé and offered a selection of croissants and pastries. Detainee sips mocha latté grandé and complains that it is too hot. Detainee spits mouthful (appr. 2 oz.) into SGT R ‘s face, calls him “infidel goat-lover”. MS Z (AI) demands that SGT R check temperature of beverage. SGT R determines that the mocha latté grandé is five (5) degrees fahrenheit above optimum serving temperature and apologizes to detainee. MS Z (AI) states for the record that detainee is being abused according to the Durbin Conventions. MR L (ESQUIRE) states that a complaint of the “Nazi-like” treatment will be filed.
0940:
SGT A tells detainee that information from other sources implicates detainee in plot to detonate nuclear device somewhere in Manhattan, asks detainee for details of plot. Detainee denies involvement, but states that he hopes that the bomb will have enough power to, “…wipe all of the filthy infidel pork-eaters off the face of Allah’s Earth.” SGT A remonstrates with detainee, stating that “many innocents” will perish in attack and asks for detainee’s help in preventing “…this horrible terrorist outrage.” Detainee selects a pastry.
0945:
MS Z (AI) and MR L (ESQUIRE) call halt to interrogation. MR L (ESQUIRE) strenuously objects to use of term “terrorist” by SGT A . MS Z (AI) criticizes SGT A for “…applying Western values…” to detainee and notes that potential civilian victims of alleged plot are engaged in work to “…further the schemes of the capitalist warmongers of Western hegemonic imperialism.” SGT A apologizes for “thoughtless characterization”. MS Z (AI) demands that SGT A direct his apology to detainee. SGT A complies.
0958:
Session ends. Detainee is returned to Guest Suite. Detainee notes that, the previous night, air conditioning in Guest Suite was set at 73 degrees fahrenheit and that Room Service served him filet mignon that was well done when he specifically requested medium rare. MR L (ESQUIRE) states for record that a complaint will be filed and he will “…see that this inhuman gulag is closed down”.

The decision comes as the Department of Justice releases a 2004 report from the CIA’s inspector general detailing allegations of harsh interrogation practices.

*****************************************************

A 2004 Report???????????????????? Will someone please tell these whackos that that was 5 years ago – almost 6. Who cares. Didn’t Obama say during his campaign the past administration was in the past or something to that effect. And maybe he said it earlier on of his admin, can’t remember exactly, but I know I heard him say that he was not interested in dredging up the old stuff.

I am going to go watch a funny movie if I can find one. I am disgusted this evening. Time to unwind. If I had a bottle of vino I would probably drink the whole thing. (Thank the Lord for small miracles). Nite folks.

I agree, that all this other crap is a distraction, as crappy as the cia stuff is, he wants everyone to forget about Obamacare. The H1N1 scare is just that, and gonna be used to gain more control over us. O, and obummer let a gitmo detainee go today, just saw that at hotair.com.

The answer to the dilema that Leon Pinetta faces is really quite simple….To stop Eric Holder in his tracks the only thing Pinetta has to do is to recite four little words….Does anyone know what those words are?

Glenn Beck
While an attempted boycott of Glenn Beck’s television show has scared away some timid advertisers, ratings for the conservative commentator’s FOX News show have gone through the roof, leading some experts to believe new and more loyal advertisers will return to the program at a higher rate.

While Beck is not in prime time, his ratings since the boycott controversy have exploded to prime-time levels, even beating out fellow FOX News host Sean Hannity.

Beck’s show ”had its highest rated week ever among Households (1,907,000) and Total Viewers (2,409,000), and second best week in the A25-54 demo (682,000),” according to Media Bistro.

Beck draws 1 million more viewers at 5 pm. than CNN and MSNBC do 8-11 pm. Combined. Advertisers, looking for a large number of viewers a sense of loyalty, will eventually wise up and start patronizing the show again. At higher ad rates, now that Beck’s ratings are so high.

In fact, many of the advertisers listed as stopping their sponsorship of Beck’s program have not done so. Best Buy and CVS never ran ads on the show, despite being put in the “win” column by boycott organizer Color For Change.

Additionally, advertisers who have stopped airing spots on Beck’s show, such as Wal-Mart, have simply shifted their advertising dollars to other programming on the FOX News network, which has moved into the number 2 position for all cable news networks in prime time.

Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., has decided that while President Obama’s eligibility to occupy the Oval Office may not be subject to an immediate court challenge, if the president runs for a second term, he should be required to prove he is qualified.

As WND reported, Franks told a townhall meeting in Kingman, Ariz., over the weekend he was considering a lawsuit to establish Obama’s eligibility.

The congressman’s spokeswoman, Bethany Haley, said Franks did consider a lawsuit during the runup to the 2008 election and immediately after the results were announced. But she confirmed to WND today that the congressman no longer is considering immediate action.

Franks did, however, today sign onto a move in Congress that would demand proof from future candidates, beginning with the 2012 race, Haley confirmed.

The original report on Franks’ desire for a lawsuit came from the Mohave Daily News, which reported that the plan for a lawsuit was pending. Haley confirmed the action had been considered but had been dropped by the congressman.

HR45 Gun Owners Watch Out
Concerning the Blair-Holt proposed legislation: Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.

In November, our lying president promised he was not going after our Second Amendment rights. This bill was introduced on Feb. 24. This bill will become public knowledge 30 days after it is voted into law. This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can pass this without the Senate oting on it at all.

The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage, http://www.senate.gov/ You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099.

You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do. Please send a copy of this e-mail o every gun owner you know.

Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don’t fully comply.

It has started.

Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.

Even gun shop owners didn’t know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar.

To find out about this – go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.

Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm – any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
It is registered -You are fingerprinted -You supply a current Driver’s License -You supply your Social Security # -You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing -Each update change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 – Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access
provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.
-They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.

If you think this is a joke – go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in our family pass this along.

This is just a “termite” approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense – chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it.

This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not.
If you take my gun, only the criminal will have one to use against me. HR 45 only makes me/us less safe.

Please.. copy and send this out to EVERYONE in the USA, whether you support the Right to Bear Arms or not. YOUR rights are next. Government is taking away our right to choose, as well as the right to defend ourselves from intruders.

Another NHS Story U.S. Media Will Likely Ignore: Widespread Use of Foreign ‘Commuter’ GPs
By Tom Blumer (Bio | Archive)
August 25, 2009 – 07:38 ET

I don’t anticipate that those in the UK who are rushing to the defense of their precious National Health Service (NHS) will be bringing up the item that follows any time soon, nor do I expect the U.S. statist heath care cheerleaders to take note of it.

The UK Daily Mail tells us that NHS is importing general practitioners who commute from foreign countries. Wait until you see the reason why, and the effect it has had on patient care.

Here are key paragraphs from the report by Rebecca Cambers:

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

The huge extent to which the NHS needs foreign doctors to treat patients out of hours is revealed today.

A third of primary care trusts are flying in GPs from as far away as Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Switzerland because of a shortage of doctors in Britain willing to work in the evenings and at weekends.

The stand-ins earn up to £100 an hour, and one trust paid Polish and German doctors a total of £267,000 (about $441,000 — Ed.) in a year, a Daily Mail investigation has found.

It raises fresh concerns that British patients are being treated by exhausted doctors without a perfect command of English.

…. The figures come months after an investigation was launched into the conduct of a German doctor after two patients died on his first shift in Britain.

…. (A) Nigerian-born doctor (based in Germany) injected 70-year-old kidney patient David Gray with ten times the maximum recommended dose of morphine, and an 86-year-old woman died of a heart attack after Ubani failed to send her to hospital.

The NHS is having to rely on doctors from overseas because a lucrative new contract for British GPs has resulted in more than 90 per cent opting out of responsibility for their patients in the evenings and at weekends.

Despite doing less, their pay has soared by 50 per cent to an average of almost £108,000.

Responsibility for out-of-hours cover has now passed to primary care trusts.

A different Daily Mail piece from August 20 tells us the following:

…. the controversial contract …. saw the pay of practice-owning GPs increase by 50 per cent over four years, to an average of almost £108,000 (about $178,000), even though they are now working seven hours a week less.

Meanwhile the rise for salaried GPs, who work longer hours, has been just 10 per cent to £54,000 on average.

That second Daily Mail piece reports that the salaried GPs want to form a “breakaway union.” So in case you didn’t know that even doctors who own their own practices are unionized under the NHS, now you do.

Back on point: What in essence happened is that NHS cut a deal with its unionized in-country GPs that was so favorable to the GPS that they stopped doing what they had been doing. Rather than attempt to go back to the docs and try to solve the problem, NHS bureaucrats took the easy way out, spending lots of taxpayer money for expensive, imported temps. In some cases, not surprisingly, they haven’t vetted their commuters very well.

Say what you will about our the imperfections of the current health care system in the U.S. — and yes, there are many — it’s almost inconceivable that it could have produced a widespread bureaucratic screw-up in the provision of primary care such as this. But with a statist health care regime in place, even if run by the allegedly best, brightest, and most noble (which, sadly, would be far from the case under ObamaCare, based on the presence of the likes of Ezekiel Emanuel) botches like the one described here are likely to become a standard feature, as is the case with NHS — which, as seen here, has a long, long history of wide-ranging problems.

Neither the administration nor the media is truly succeeding in refuting Palin’s criticisms.

August 25, 2009 – by Scott Ott Page 1 of 2 Next ->Howard Kurtz, in his August 24 Washington Post column (“Journalists, Left Out of The Debate”), calls big journalism’s failure to knock down Sarah Palin’s “death panel” charge “a stunning illustration of the traditional media’s impotence.”

As you may have noticed, the “traditional” media recently morphed from administration critics into a pro bono public relations firm for the White House. It happened on or about January 20, 2009. Now, they’re flummoxed by their failure to refute a woman they believe has the communications savvy of a pimento.

Kurtz thinks that the mainstream media have done a great job presenting “the facts” about the Democrats’ health care reform bill, including repeated proof that no “death panel” provision exists.

But people like Kurtz fail to understand that Palin does not allege that the health care reform bill contains the phrase “death panel” or that it openly advocates euthanasia. Sarah Palin’s charge has legs because:

1.) The only way to save money in a government-run health system is to ration care.

2.) The majority of health care expenditures for most people come near the end of life, and thus the elderly present the greatest opportunity for cost savings.

3.) Special-needs people, like Palin’s son Trig, who has Down’s Syndrome, also require spending — another opportunity for economizing.

4.) The government, and too many in our society, believe …

a) infants in the womb to be less worthy of protection than Michael Vick’s dogs,

b) Trig Palin’s life to be Sarah’s foolish choice, and

c) the elderly to be a burden on society.

5.) Other governments which run health care operations have a track record of delaying and denying coverage based on the limited supply of medical professionals and equipment, as well as cost-containment considerations.

6.) The end-of-life counseling language appeared in a section of a bill on cost-containment.

7.) The American people don’t trust politicians, and would rise up in unified opposition if the federal government had a plan to take over and run little league athletics, let alone health care, which does involve life and death decisions.

8.) Americans love freedom.

The reason why the “traditional” media has failed to knock down what Kurtz, et al, see as spurious “death panel” allegations is because journalists and politicians ignore the real facts and the legitimate concerns of the American people.

Sarah Palin — invariably portrayed by reporters and politicians as a either a vacuous celebrity or an ill-informed hooftie — has apparently thought through the issues more than most of them. She makes plain sense, while her opponents push an agenda of greater centralized government control. The world has seen the results of such experiments within the past century. They lead inevitably to dependence, despair, despotism, and disaster.

Howard Kurtz and his colleagues should spend less time musing about why the traditional media have failed to persuade Americans that they should surrender their bodies to the government, and more time getting to know some real people.

Somewhere between L.A. and D.C., they’ll find folks whose life experience, grasp of history, common sense understanding of economics, clear-headed rational thought, and healthy distrust of politicians lead them to accept the logical conclusion that government-run health care will strip individual autonomy and place our most intimate, important decisions into the clutches of a bureaucracy that doesn’t share our values and from which we cannot opt out.

Sarah Palin’s brilliant, succinct term “death panels” hits home because it neatly summarizes all that’s wrong with government-run health care. Superficial efforts by reporters to “debunk the death panel myth” will continue to fail, because Americans are smarter than most journalists when it comes to practical matters of life.

Journalism professionals would also benefit from reading some American history, including our founding documents. Our founders had a deep understanding of human nature, shaped by their lifelong, exhaustive study of history and philosophy and of the book that best encapsulates both — the Bible.

Too often journalists and politicians attribute imperfections in American society to a failure of our founding principles, rather than recognizing problems as simply a natural byproduct of finite, flawed humanity that would crop up under any system. So we hear the cry that our health care system is “broken” and the conclusion that government must fix it immediately. It’s a naive notion promulgated by people who think history commenced with their own appearance on the planet.

Because humans fail the omniscience test and have a proclivity to misbehavior, we function best in a free market system where liberty permits escape from the inevitable outbreaks of ignorance and of the dark side of human nature.

Liberty is our natural state. Anything that encroaches on liberty, no matter how benevolent its proponents, must be resisted.

These are “the facts,” Mr. Kurtz. As you marvel at the mystery of how Sarah Palin has hoodwinked America, defeating politicians and pundits alike, consider the possibility that she persuades because she’s smarter than you in ways that matter most.

Of course these hippocritics never ever talk about politics in their churches — especially like da reverend wright. Don’t you just love that there is always the cry of racism — even for a simple statement like where’s the birth certificate. We should then yell racism at Holder et al for their CIA witchhunt!!!!! After all its a black man going after most likely white CIA officials and Bush/Cheney. Whats fair for the geese is fair for the gander.

Did anyone here get an unsolicited email from Blog Talk Radio (8/21) under the guise of a 3rd anniversary survey???? The only other emails I’ve ever received were for the momma e radio rebels. Here is how it starts:

Dear BlogTalkRadio Listener,

BlogTalkRadio celebrates its third anniversary this month. And what better, more fitting way to mark the occasion than with an interview with President Barack Obama?

We invite you to listen in to the president’s August 19th address on the 40 Minutes for Health Reform show. You will find all the details below as well as some programming highlights from across the network.

In this month’s newsletter, we have also included a link to a listener survey. Your feedback is very important to us, so please be sure to participate.

Also included were links to — Governor Patterson and George Soros on Harlem Talk Radio, Cokie Roberts, etc. etc. et. They have to be kidding — all lefty crap!

I just did an unsubscribe with the following comments as to why:
For your unsolicited email of 8/21 with liberal BS links to go to including Obama on health care reform. I listen to conservative shows only!

Honey, Jim Wallis Shrunk the Church
By Jeffrey Lord on 8.25.09 @ 6:09AM

“Many of you have older members of your congregations. They’re all now scared to death that someone is talking about cutting Medicare benefits. That is again simply not true….There has been a lot misinformation in this debate and there are some folks out there who are frankly bearing false witness. This notion that somehow we are setting up death panels that would decide on whether elderly people get to live or die…that is just an extraordinary lie.”
— President Obama in a phone call to 140,000 religious left activists

Let’s get religion.

And a wonderful religion it is. There’s a God. Commandments. Disciples, but of course, not to mention lots and lots of Followers. There is also a Judas. And a preacher — don’t forget the preacher.

In this case, that would be the theologically correct yet always smiling Reverend Jim Wallis

Smiling Jim. Today’s Man of God, yesterday’s Man of the State. Today the head of the religious group called Sojourners who was a leading participant in a recent health care phone call between 140,000 “people of faith” and President Obama. Yesterday a leader in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a group that also fancied itself as a people of faith. A very different faith.

Smiling Jim wasn’t always smiling in those yesterdays, presumably. Smiling had to be a tough chore if you were president of the Michigan State University chapter of the hard-left SDS. You remember the SDS, don’t you? That charmingly grim-faced sixties group that more than frequently displayed its taste for violent/authoritarian regimes when it wasn’t being violent/authoritarian itself. The intellectual breeding ground that birthed the once again famous Bill Ayers — he the friend of Barack now best known as “the unrepentant terrorist” — and Mrs. Ayers.

That would be Bernadine Dohrn, who helped launch the Weatherman faction of, yes, Smiling Jim’s SDS. The 2008 campaign re-introduced us all to the notion that Mr. Ayres thought it a romantic idea to blow up the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon. It shot us back in time to the cozy feelings of moral superiority felt by SDS members who believed in the moral equivalence of America and the various Communists tyrannies of the day. In 2009 America, by chance yet again, has been reminded of the moral sentiments that ran in the intellectual veins of the far-left as the 40th anniversary of the gruesome Manson murders made the news. We seem not to be reminded that the President’s political career was launched in the living room of Mrs. Ayers, SDS’er Dohrn, who commented in this fashion at the time of the Manson nightmare:

“Dig it! First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in pig Tate’s belly. Wild!”

The Tate reference was to the murder of actress Sharon Tate, murdered in the Manson slaughter when she was eight months pregnant.

Thankfully Smiling Jim never signed up with the violent antics of the Ayers husband and wife team. What, after all, is to be gained spending time with those who were the 1960s embodiment of some dialogue from a Batman film? Mean kids, bad seeds who hurt people. Heads full of bad wiring.

So it was divinity school instead for Smiling Jim, a decidedly better choice. Trailing along somewhere in this exploration of God, however, was the unmistakable whiff of the real old time religion that lay at the core of the SDS — and is today at the core of the religious left:

The lust for control — power — over the lives of others.

WHAT BROUGHT WALLIS and the SDS to mind were two recent incidents involving Smiling Jim, both taking place in the midst of the hurricane that has become the health care debate.

The first involved Smiling Jim’s furious reaction to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s famous statement that the health care bill was provisioning “evil” with what she termed “death panels.” A board that would effectively place bureaucrats between patients and doctors as a result of government rationed care, eventually and inevitably rationing to the detriment of the weakest among us.

There was a considerable uproar over this Palin statement. In fact, Governor Palin’s August 7 Facebook statement came almost two weeks after the same conclusion had been drawn quite independently in this very space when I asked the rude but necessary question “Who Will Tell Michael J. Fox He Needs to Die?” It was already abundantly clear that government rationing of health care — which is in fact the objective of the Obama health care effort — would inevitably have fateful consequences for the most vulnerable in our society. Specifically that would include the elderly, the disabled, those with AIDS, minorities, women with breast cancer, men with prostate cancer, among others. Not to mention people like actor Fox, who famously suffers terribly from Parkinson’s disease.

This point, it should be said, has since been made most effectively yet again by one of the few doctors in Congress, Dr. Tom Coburn, the Senator from Oklahoma. In an interview with Oklahoma television station KOTV, Dr. Coburn quite specifically backed up Palin and challenged the President — who is a friend of his. He made it clear that he had given Senate Democrats three different opportunities to back away from the “death panel” concept — specifically called the comparative effectiveness board:

I offered three different times in the mark-up in the committee an absolute prohibition of rationing coming from the comparative effectiveness board. They denied it all three times. They voted this down all three times. So if you don’t want an absolute prohibition what could be your motivation to not want it to be prohibited?(It) is that you intend to use rationing to control costs. Now, they voted this down 13-10, 13-10, 13-10. My only understanding is why would you not want an absolute prohibition is because you ultimately intend to ration care. And their plan — they’re not going to speak it cause they know if they speak it it’ll never pass, their plan is to control costs by limiting options. That’s how England controls costs, that’s how Canada controls costs…and unfortunately tons of people die every year. 114 million people will lose their coverage under the bills in the House and Senate.

Yet government rationing is precisely the objective of the fanatical left, those folks whose ideological roots spring from the same ground that nourished Smiling Jim in his unsmiling days with the SDS. Sarah Palin, in zeroing in with considerable acuity on the central fact at hand, had suddenly stirred an uprising without ever leaving Alaska. In fact, she had put a sitting President of the United States on the defensive with his top legislative priority. So Smiling Jim — that would actually be the Reverend Smiling Jim — who back in 2008 was complaining religiously about the “utter political incivility” of the day, said this of Sarah Palin:

Sarah, you’re the one who is acting in an “evil” way. After listening to your policy pronouncements during the campaign, many Americans decided, generously, that you weren’t ready yet for high political office. Others thought you just weren’t very smart. But this statement last week really does clear up the question for me. You are speaking like a demagogue in the worst tradition of those who knowingly distort and deceive, for their own political purposes. You want to stoke people’s worst fears and then, hopefully, they will look to someone like you to be their leader. You’re not stupid after all. You know that neither President Obama, nor anyone else in this health-care debate, would deny health care for your parents or child, and that none of the ideas being debated would suggest that. But people are confused and concerned, so you see your chance to prey upon their misunderstandings. Politics for people like you is really all about you, your fame and power, and your taste of it during the last election has revealed what kind of politician you truly are.

Please don’t invoke your “Christian faith” anymore and embarrass the people of God even further. May your efforts to scare Americans during this important debate fail. May your political future also fail, and may your star fall as fast as it rose just a few months ago — because we now know who you really are.

Well.

Was the Reverend Smiling Jim still smiling? Definitely not. Was the Reverend Smiling Jim rude, condescending, and uncivil? Utterly. Was he un-Christian? Surely. An embarrassment to the people of God. Ouch. You might even say that he displayed a witch-hunting zeal, not exactly the first thing you think of when the term “man of God” comes to mind. Unless we’re talking about old Cotton Mather breathing fire over those witches in Salem.

Or the old SDS.

WHAT REALLY CATCHES one’s attention is the realization that this quite public meltdown of the Reverend Smiling Jim’s was one of those telltale moments when someone of the far left gets so infuriated that the public mask slips. It helps, perhaps, to be a Baby Boomer, to have lived through the Time of the SDS — to translate the subtext here for those who look at this kind of thing agog and wonder how a man-of-the-cloth with such a benignly wonderful reputation today as the Sojourning Reverend Smiling Jim could quite deliberately spew this kind of Mather-esque rage.

The answer is, at least in part, that the SDS and the far left of the 1960s — in spite of its fancy rhetoric — had serious problems with two things: gender and race. They could talk a good game, but in the end the SDS was filled with a lot of white boys — literally — like Smiling Jim who in their heart of hearts were sexist — and like Cotton Mather just couldn’t abide smart women in authority roles. Witches being something of a bygone target by the 1960s, the word generally used replaced the “w” with a “b.”

Think for a moment of another recent image seemingly unconnected to all of this — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s contretemps over in the Congo. Out of the blue, a mistranslation was at play leading her to believe the questioner was asking about her husband’s views when the questioner really meant Obama’s views as the sitting president. Clinton exploded. In an on-camera feminist rant she snapped that she would not be “channeling” the man who is her husband because “I’m the Secretary of State.” One doesn’t instantly respond the way Clinton did for no reason. Quite obviously, as a liberal, Clinton has spent vast quantities of time from her college days forward dealing with “liberal” men like Wallis. Men who, like her husband, nominally share her political views. All too frequently these men are politically left on the surface but underneath nothing more or less than your garden variety white boy sexist. Clinton has been there and done that a zillion times, and this mistranslation plus perhaps some jet lag brought a lifetime of rage about this kind of thing to an instant boiling overflow.

That same sexist attitude Hillary Clinton thought she heard from her questioner is precisely what surfaced when the Reverend Smiling Jim went after Sarah Palin. Read his embarrassing statement again. It is filled with the kind of snarky condescension only someone who considers himself to be a smart left-wing white boy can display. Let’s time travel a bit, and say that the death-panel statement Sarah Palin made came from one of her white male predecessors as an unsuccessful Republican vice-presidential nominee. Can you imagine Smiling Jim ever addressing, say, Barry Goldwater’s defeated running mate William Miller this way? Or Jerry Ford’s Bob Dole? Or Bob Dole’s Jack Kemp? Of course not. White boys don’t talk to white boys like this. He tellingly didn’t find it important enough to say about white guy Doc Coburn, the Senator who actually knows something about the subject of practicing medicine and who says Palin is correct on the subject of death panels.

In fact, the very obvious point is that the Reverend Smiling Jim’s mask dropped precisely because unlike the three losing GOP-veep nominees mentioned here, Palin is a considerably potent political threat in the way the others were not in their post-national ticket runs. She is not just a threat to Obama and health care, but as a smart, articulate politically popular conservative woman nurturing a disabled child and having aging parents she is a mortal threat to the Reverend Smiling Jim’s entire leftward vision.

A vision of a world safely controlled by the likes of himself, his left-wing white friends or his black, Latino, and female left-wing friends who are the political equivalent of what Malcolm X loved to shiv as the House Negro. They have not the courage to disagree with the folks in the mansion of the left-wing intellectual plantation because, as with the treatment of Sarah Palin and, say, Clarence Thomas, they know the knives will come out.

That world to which the Reverend Smiling Jim hopes to sojourn us all involves a more polished yet still authentically authoritarian vision of control than was expressed back in the glory days of the SDS. But it is most definitely the exact opposite of a health care system based on principles of liberty, individual freedom, and choice. A world where, in spite of the myth that the “death panels” are a myth, abolishing them for good is voted down in the United States Senate 13-10 three times over. A world where, as just revealed in the Wall Street Journal, the Obama Veterans Administration has OK’d the use of what is referred to internally as the “Death Book” — a volume that effectively and typically of the leftwing mindset gives disabled vets a push towards the abyss.

Since the Reverend Smiling Jim is so adamant about this, it is useful to understand that his life, while certainly not personally dabbling in violence as did Ayres and his wife, has spun out along precisely the same ideological lines beloved of the SDS he was so eager to serve in college. Except he chose to inflect the touch of God in the whole business. And in the world of the religious left, the real God is not, well, you know, God.

The real God for the American left — “religious” or not — is Control. The central Commandment is Power, and the Disciples and Followers are all at varying degrees faithful to their God. — whether it be control of health care today, education tomorrow, or tax policy the day after that, or General Motors on Day One. First, last, and always, the Alpha and the Omega is Control of your life. The Judas here is Palin — The Feminist — or any conservative black or Latino (Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele, Miguel Estrada etc., etc.) who, by quite deliberately denying the God of government Control betrays The Faith. As the Reverend Smiling Jim’s instinctively vituperative treatment of Palin indicates, those who betray — women and minorities most prominently — must be dealt with harshly.

Were Cotton Mather here today to read Wallis’s screed he would be bursting with pride. The good Reverend Mather would take one look and listen to the Witch Palin and know precisely that the Reverend Smiling Jim has got all the Salem essentials down cold.

This would also explain why the Reverend Smiling Jim sits still for Obama’s repeated misrepresentations of what he is doing. Promising that Americans can still keep their doctor and their health care plan just as they have it now is, as the Reverend Smiling Jim and the President himself knows, flatly not so. The President is on videotape insisting he wants to get rid of private employer-based insurance but that it will take 15-20 years to do so. All this misrepresentation is necessary to gull Americans into giving up their freedom to choose, their liberty — to force them to worship the left-wing God of Control — and they are, blessedly, acutely aware of this.

WHICH BRINGS US to two final points.

As is frequently noted, mainline Protestant denominations — the prominent ones being the United Church of Christ, the Disciples of Christ, United Methodists, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian (USA) and the Episcopal Church — may be losing their once dominant status, but they are still filled to the brim with aging middle and upper class white seniors. Precisely the kind of people who have been in the headlines for showing up in a fury at all these healthcare town hall meetings with members of Congress.

Which may explain a curious point. Of the 16 people who participated on the phone call with President Obama only one — Dr. Sharon Watkins, the General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) — was the head of one of these major denominations. The heads of the Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Evangelical Lutherans and United Church of Christ were either not invited or declined an invitation to speak. They did allow the names of their denominations to be listed as a “call sponsor” — but there was literally no voice to be heard from people who are never shy about this sort of thing.

When a liberal Democratic president and his team can’t enlist the dependably liberal leaders of these churches to even get on the phone for a much ballyhooed call with the White House — the immediate conclusion is startling. There is a reason the President mentions that seniors in these church congregations are scared. He is trying to soothe a nervous liberal church leadership. It may be safe to talk about same-sex marriage in these denominations. But it is decidedly not wise to be heard on a call with the President of the United States endorsing a health care plan laden with a vision of death panels and government rationed care that, as already illustrated in the Obama-run VA’s “Death Book,” is designed to push the elderly, the disabled, and the frail to the inevitable consequences of government-sponsored rationed death. It’s definitely not a good idea when all these older people give money to the church, money that funds the staff and offices and programs of these national churches.

On The Reverend Smiling Jim’s Sojourners website is a plea to “Sign ‘A Christian Creed on Health-Care Reform’ and a copy of it will be sent to your members of Congress.” What’s missing, like the Sherlock Holmes dog that didn’t bark, is a clue to the reality of the left and health care. Just as Al Gore warns of global warming while running around the planet on private jets, and the Kennedys want green energy except for windmills that would spoil the view in Hyannis, Jim Wallis has made no effort to sign up members of Congress and liberal allies in the faith community and elsewhere to a pledge that they would quite publicly commit to putting both themselves and their families on the government-sponsored public health care option.

Will he do it? Will he say to Barack Obama –“Sir, when you leave the White House, will you and your family decline private insurance and put yourselves on the public option plan?” Ditto to Vice President Biden, all supporters of the public option in the House and Senate, all heads of church denominations, their families and their denominational staffs? Will the Reverend Smiling Jim get all those MSNBC supporters of ObamaCare to pledge they will give up their General Electric-employer based insurance for the public option? The publisher of the New York Times? Will they all commit to forgo whatever private wealth they may have and, when they or a family member has a health care problem, stick with the public option only — and tell all the rest of us?

What do you think?

Will the Reverend Smiling Jim get the ball rolling by even pledging to sign himself up to such a plan?

The problem with the Reverend Smiling Jim Wallis is that in his insistence on claiming the high ground of morality in the health care debate — while simultaneously demeaning Governor Palin in tones as breathtakingly condescending as they were contemptuous — he not only loses any right to anything touching on a moral claim but winds up flecking mud over people of faith in all denominations and of all beliefs. He showed himself not as a thoughtful religious activist of the left but as a shockingly mean-spirited sexist snob. A man who simply by writing such a thing demonstrated not only his lack of smarts but his willingness to invoke his alleged Christian faith in a demagogic fury that can generously be summed up as sexist authoritarian garbage.

Of the many political casualties on a growing list in this health care debate, a list that includes the President’s credibility and that of his staff and the onetime faithful allegiance of seniors to Democrats, you can now add the reputation of Jim Wallis.

His vituperative and decidedly un-Christian rage at Governor Palin has served as a timely reminder of just who the real Jim Wallis really is and from which well the real Jim Wallis draws his core beliefs. Those beliefs come not from the deep well of Christian charity, tolerance, and love, but rather from a movement that was the epitome of intolerance, rage, sexism, racism, and a lust for the control of others that is the real God of the left.

In doing this, Jim Wallis not only damages others of all faiths — he manages something that is hard to do.

Enough has been inflicted on this country by “the One’s” administration to make him fall, but with MSM helping him to deflect and their lack of honest reporting, I feel in my gut that whatever he is hiding in his BC needs to come out soon. Like Lame Cherry, I have been waiting for 3 weeks as to what I though WND was hinting at. They (WND) has been doing a good job reminding Americans of exactly what Obama has done and is doing, but darn it, I wish that BC would come out and his other records he’s hiding.

“Bottom line: The budget outlook is worse, and dangerous,” Douglas Holtz-Eakin, an economist and a campaign adviser last year to GOP presidential nominee John McCain, argued in a memo to House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio. “The lower estimate is strictly the result of the administration massaging their budget assumptions, not reality.”

Obama faces huge problems when Congress returns. His health care overhaul is already in some trouble, as senators and House of Representatives members battle over the best way to change the system.

One of the major concerns has been cost. Obama is pushing a plan with a price tag of nearly $1 trillion, while other Democratic-authored efforts appear to cost only somewhat less.

One of the White House’s major arguments this year is that revamping the health care system ultimately would boost the economy and bring down the deficit.

“In addition to avoiding making the problem any worse, we need to address the key driver of our long-term deficits: health care costs,” Orszag said. “The federal government simply cannot be put on a fiscally sustainable path without slowing the rate of health care cost growth in the long run.”

“That is why the administration is insistent that health care reform not only be deficit neutral over the next 10 years, but also incorporate changes that will help reduce the deficit thereafter,” he said.

Rose if you follow the links in that article you provided they also talk about the Kenyan BC and of course say its a fake — personally their excuses/reasons are the same old ones except they have some expert of African studies. They even use Polariks initial reaction saying it was a fake to support their claims.

Opponents of Obamacare could make their voices really be heard by a key player –Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid– if they sent $10 to Danny Tarkanian, Reid’s only declared opponent in the 2010 election, and then e-mailed Senator Reid that they had done so because of his support for Obamacare and would continue to send more contributions to Tarkanian if Senator Reid continues to support the radical overhaul of American medicine.

Danny Tarkanian is the only declared opponent of Senator Reid in next November’s election, and you can contribute online to Tarkanian’s campaign here.

I wonder if the same “lazy crack heads” referred to in this article will be conducting the US Census. BTW was talking with my hubby about the billions that ACORN and others received in taxpayer dollars and wondering if this thugocracy would use our tax dollars to arm these thugs to confront us. Nothing, and I mean nothing surprises me about these jerks running our gov’t.

Did anyone here get an unsolicited email from Blog Talk Radio (8/21) under the guise of a 3rd anniversary survey????
*********************
Yep, I got it too and flagged it as spam so future BS would automatically go to spam folder.

Those projections generally follow the rules, originally established in
law, that have traditionally governed baseline projections. However,

some of the resulting assumptions may underestimate potential deficits.
Because they presume no changes in current tax laws, the projections

incorporate increases in revenues that would result from the expiration
of tax reductions enacted earlier in this decade and provisions that

have kept the alternative minimum tax (AMT) from affecting many more
taxpayers. They also assume that future annual appropriations grow

each year at the rate of inflation. Those assumptions result in
projected revenues that, as a percentage of GDP, would be high by

historical standards, and projected discretionary spending that,
relative to GDP, would be low by historical standards. Many other

outcomes are possible.

If, for example, those tax reductions were continued, the parameters of the AMT were indexed for inflation, and future annual appropriations were to remain at their 2009 share of GDP, the deficit in 2019 would reach 8.5 percent of GDP, by CBO’s estimates.

assuming no stimulus and assuming that the economy would have done as well as it has done without it.

That’s only 14% less than the deficit currently projected.

And keep in mind that some of the legislative changes are due to higher defense spending and other non-stimulus related programs.

But McCain undoubtedly would have supported some sort of fiscal stimulus.

(That’s a big f*ucking but!)

It might have been more tax- than spending-oriented, but would have increased the deficit nevertheless.

(Might have been?!)

If we assume that McCain’s stimulus would have been half the size of Obama’s that leaves us with an estimated deficit of $1,474 billion under McCain—only 7% less than the deficit now estimated.

(Hello! We’re talking about a McCain stimulus which actually would have stimulated and increased revenues. BTW, I’m going to scream if I hear another Repub say that elections have consequences. Recall the non-stimulating “stimulus” and pass something which will actually increase revenues and stop making war on the investor class.)

The Administration contemporaneously acted to address the financial crisis and get credit flowing again through the Financial Stability Plan, and worked to help homeowners facing foreclosure through the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan.

In addition, the Administration took action to forestall the failure of two of the Nation’s largest automobile manufacturers and to strengthen the non-bank credit market.

All together, these efforts—along with the ARRA—increased the deficit in the short run.

In fact, 64 percent of the current deficit is directly attributable to rescue and recovery efforts and other countercyclical programs that were essential in preventing a deeper and more costly recession.

“increased the deficit in the short run” – in the short run AND the long run. The numbers we had before were unsustainable, the new numbers are criminal.

Culture of Corruption: Democrat fund-raising fraudster edition
By Michelle Malkin • August 25, 2009 02:20 PM Man, the updates to Culture of Corruption just keep piling up. Here’s another one for my Clinton and Money Men chapters:

The U.S. attorney in New York on Tuesday charged a New York investor and major Democratic fund-raiser with a $74 million scheme to defraud Citigroup Inc (C.N).

Hassan Nemazee, 59, was charged with one count of bank fraud, and faces up to 30 years in prison plus a fine. His lawyer Marc Mukasey, a former federal prosecutor, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Nemazee was a national finance chair of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and a supporter of John Kerry’s run for the White House in 2004.

He typically donates more than $100,000 annually to Democratic political candidates, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senator Charles Schumer, and sits on the board of the Iranian American Political Action Committee .

Bill Clinton, when he was president, nominated Nemazee to be U.S. ambassador to Argentina.

Prosecutors said Nemazee, the chairman and chief executive of Nemazee Capital Corp, sought to induce Citigroup’s banking unit to lend up to $74 million based on fraudulent and forged documents suggesting that he had hundreds of millions of dollars of accounts available as collateral.

They said Nemazee also provided Citigroup with fake references so that when the bank would try to confirm details about his accounts, it would actually be contacting him. The scheme lasted from December 2006 to this month, the prosecutors said.

General Thomas McInerney (Lt Gen, US Air Force Ret, chair of the IPC Advisory Council), in an interview in this regard stated that “It would be outrageous for the U.S. military to shirk its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention by allowing the Iranian dissidents at Camp Ashraf to be dispersed throughout Iraq or repatriated to Iran.

Adherence to international law by American forces is essential to ensuring that our own troops are treated consistently with their international legal rights.

Surrender to Islamo-fascism is not an option, plain and simple. And the sooner our foreign service and the foreign ministries of our European allies understand this point, the better!

The answer lies in supporting the pivotal opposition movement – PMOI – that has proved throughout the years to be the only viable solution to the warmongering religious fascism – The wavering Tehran regime.

How Rahm Is Reviving the GOP
By John BatchelorcloseAuthor: John Batchelor Name: John Batchelor

Editor: This op-ed was first published at The Daily Beast and is reprinted with the express permission of John Batchelor.

Suddenly the disgraced and demoralized Republican Congress has an unearned future, thanks to the superhuman clumsiness of a man who has made himself indispensable to the Obama administration and insufferable to the Democratic Congress, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.

The GOP always knew that Emanuel was a problem that could not be solved and could only be endured while he served three tempestuous terms in the House. But now the beleaguered Democratic majority is learning painfully that Emanuel’s talents for bullying, whimsical favoritism, cheerful power-grabbing, and self-congratulatory earthiness have transformed the first hundred days of the Obama administration’s seamless accomplishment into a second hundred days of blame and gloom.

First, Emanuel used frontman Senator Max Baucus (D-Mont.), the Finance Committee chair, to ditch the health-care public option, while sending President Obama to speak softly at dinner at the home of prickly Senator Charles Grassley (R-Grant Wood). The latest Emanuel co-authored ploy—forcing health-care legislation through in the fall with Democratic-only votes—underlines that the White House has become as deaf, daring, and driven as the fabled Democratic machines of Tammany Hall or Emanuel’s own Cook County, where he was a once and future fundraiser for the Daleys.“We suck,” a blunt Republican partisan reports, “but they suck more right now.”
Polling supports this cynical summary. The still lifeless Republicans, who have avoided any credible renovation or even contrition for their decades of swinishness, now enjoy their largest generic lead over the Democrats in years. Trusted touts like Charlie Cook speak of a Democratic loss of at least 20 seats in the House. Republican Party fundraising is up, Republican recruitment is up—even in blue New Hampshire, where a potential loss of Judd Gregg’s U.S. Senate seat is now a likely win with the recruiting of the popular Attorney General Kelly Ayotte—and the GOP’s cheeks have a glow not related to shame.

“It’s Rahm,” a Republican partisan tells me. “The cowardly, brain-dead Republicans are claiming they’ve done something. But it’s Rahm. If Rahm goes, the Dems will not do worse. But it might be hard to undo the damage.”

Like the gifted and overwrought Maximilien de Robespierre once upon a time, Rahm Emanuel has taken control of a revolutionary movement he did not help create nor much contribute to while it was gathering strength under the oppression of the ancien régime of George W. Bush. And just like Robespierre, Emanuel has turned the president’s kitchen cabinet of trusted ex-campaign workers, led by David Axelrod (whose ex-PR firm has enjoyed $12 million in fees so far from fronts controlled by the administration-directed Democratic National Committee), Mark Lippert, and Denis McDonough (a dynamic duo of hatchetmen on the National Security Council), into a Committee for Public Safety that terrorizes Washington’s royals willy-nilly.

The victims are everywhere, and the Republicans know best how brilliantly brutal Emanuel’s methods can be. “Rahm puts people on a string,” a cautious Republican told me. “He did it to Dennis [Hastert, former speaker of the House]. We always knew Rahm had something on him. Maybe it was earmarks. Maybe it was something like classic car-flipping. Dennis never went after Rahm and never allowed us to go after him.”

Emanuel’s methods in the House are now writ large throughout the government. Not one of the House Democrats is suicidal enough to push back in public against what amounts to his extortion and protection racket for each successive piece of partisan legislation—witness the 219 beaten-up votes for cap and trade in the House, or the pummeled Blue Dogs during the health-care brouhaha during recess. One Democratic wag comments that Rahm Emanuel is to the Blue Dogs what Michael Vick was to pit bulls. In the beginning he feeds them steak, then they get torn apart.
However, the Republicans are not as gun-shy—though none is unwise enough to reveal his own name—since they have no financing to have ripped from them; and some Republicans point to the strange quiet of GOP House Minority Whip Eric Cantor as evidence that he may be a victim of Emanuel’s Black Hand style.

After his TARP-supporting apostasy under the Bush ancien régime, Cantor begged forgiveness of his caucus to win the Whip job and was excited to oppose the aggressive White House in its first hundred days, taking pride of place in the Party of No against the stimulus package and the budget. But then Cantor rolled over, advocating to the Republican caucus that it avoid direct attacks on the administration and embrace the fashion of bipartisanship and compromise. In May, Cantor even tried a laughable bipartisan tour with Republican has-beens like Jeb Bush and Newt Gingrich (no Democrats showed up) called the National Council for a New America.

What happened? “We think it’s Rahm,” says one Republican who watched the whodunit. “Cantor backed off right after articles ran in his district about Cantor’s wife working for a TARP bank.”
Cantor went so far as to vote for the wild legislation punishing AIG and TARP-bank bonuses with confiscatory taxes that few other Republicans regarded as sane. “We couldn’t understand that vote,” was one comment, “unless it was Rahm.”

Emanuel’s ambitious Committee for Public Safety in the White House, tightly disciplined, indifferent to all Cabinet secretaries including State and Defense, is not limited to sowing fear on Capitol Hill. There are multiple, detailed reports of Rahm Emanuel-authored or -delivered threats to the Netanyahu government in Jerusalem, to the Maliki government in Baghdad, to the Brown government at 10 Downing Street, and now to the Karzai government in Kabul that is entangled in massive voting fraud. A fresh report of a “profanity-laced screaming match” at the White House involving the formerly mild-mannered CIA director Leon Panetta, an Emanuel appointee (as a reward for protecting Emanuel as Clinton chief of staff after Emanuel’s multiple screw-ups in the Clinton White House), points directly to the Emanuel style of extreme persuasion even in national security policy—though Emanuel’s bona fides in diplomacy are a 1991 vacation camp program in Israel volunteering to sing songs and stand around at Israel Defense Force bases with teenagers when he was 31 years old.

Emanuel’s other claim to critical national policy is based on how he got rich in a few dozen months’ work with Bruce Wasserstein in the Chicago office of Wasserstein Perella & Co. as it was being acquired by Deutsche Bank, putting together a merger involving the Chicago-based Exelon Corporation that was also one of Axelrod’s biggest PR accounts and financed Obama’s political career. Emanuel is said to be thrillingly defensive about this episode between his time at the Clinton White House in 1999 and his win of the Democratic primary for the Illinois House seat to replace Rod Blagojevich, a former mentor, in 2002.

Recalled an entertained Republican, “I saw one [Democratic] member walk up to him and ask, ‘So how did you make $18 million in an afternoon sitting at a table in Chicago?’ And Rahm just turned and walked away. It gets to him.”

Just now, Emanuel’s unusually good fortune in Chicago in making $18 million in a very short time may be the only thing on the planet that gets to him. A twist of fate is that as Emanuel’s authority and ambition grow, reaching for swift closure to foreign commitments, staging bipartisan fantasy cruises, then reaching to construct Democratic-only laws that turn the theory of checks and balances into an unlimited credit card on the Treasury, the polling points not only to a rising tide of facedown Republicans but also to a sinking approval rating for a president who entirely controls Emanuel’s fate. Is there a lesson in the detail that the French Revolution waited too long to turn on Robespierre’s ruthless genius, and by the time the guillotine fell, the ludicrously reactionary aristocracy had rallied throughout Europe and led a counterrevolution that swept liberty into the ditch for another lifetime?

For many years I have stated that of the large power countries, China was the one that concerned me most. They have an enormous population and have the potential for desperately needing water and other natural resources. The Germans faced this dilemna after World War I as they looked to grow their economy. They needed more living room, “lebensraum.”

Because of some flu related controversies I am researching, I went back into my email archives. An article that I received on March 18, 2009 from a retired military officer now appears more plausible and ominous.

“The following is the actual text of a speech delivered in December, 2005 by Comrade
Chi Haotian –the Vice-Chairman of China’s Military Commission to top officers
and generals. Keep in mind that China has for many years advocated deceitful
and covert warfare against its enemies. This is their Modus Operandi. There
should be little question that a “Bird Flu” Pandemic would deeply excite them.
(Don’t forget how they have poisoned thousands of American pets and knowingly
placed lead paints on toddler’s toys.)”

““Comrades, I’m very excited today, because the large-scale online survey sina.com
that was done for us showed that our next generation is quite promising and our
Party’s cause will be carried on. In answering the question, “Will you shoot at
women, children and prisoners of war,” more than 80 per cent of the respondents
answered in the affirmative, exceeding by far our expectations.”

“The central issue of this survey appears to be whether one should shoot at
women, children and prisoners of war, but its real significance goes far beyond
that. Ostensibly, our intention is mainly to figure out what the Chinese people’s
attitude towards war is: If these future soldiers do not hesitate to kill even noncombatants,
they’ll naturally be doubly ready and ruthless in killing combatants.
Therefore, the responses to the survey questions may reflect the general attitude
people have towards war……..We wanted to know: If China’s global development
will necessitate massive deaths in enemy countries, will our people endorse that
scenario? Will they be for or against it?”

“The first pressing issue facing us is living space. This is the biggest focus of the
revitalization of the Chinese race. In my last speech, I said that the fight over basic
living resources (including land and ocean) is the source of the vast majority of
wars in history. This may change in the information age, but not fundamentally.
Our per capita resources are much less than those of Germany’s back then. In
addition, economic development in the last twenty-plus years had a negative impact,
and climates are rapidly changing for the worse. Our resources are in very short
supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of soil, water, and air.
Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race, but even its survival is gravely
threatened, to a degree much greater than faced Germany back then.”

“Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if
the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant
to Taiwan and some other countries! Second, even if we could snatch some land
from Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, how much more living space can we
get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia
have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.”

“Only by using special means to ‘clean up’ America will we be able to lead the
Chinese people there. Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many
people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been rapid
development of modern biological technology, and new bio weapons have been
invented one after another. Of course we have not been idle; in the past years we
have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of
achieving our purpose of ‘cleaning up’ America all of a sudden. When Comrade
Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to
make the right decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focused instead
on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy
country.

Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the
Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are
strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place.
According to the computations of the author of Yellow Peril, more than half of the
Chinese will die, and that figure would be more than 800 million people! Just after
the liberation, our yellow land supported nearly 500 million people, while today the
official figure of the population is more than 1.3 billion. This yellow land has
reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who know how soon it will come, the
great collapse will occur any time and more than half of the population will have to
go.

It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the
only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the CCP leads the
world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths, But if history
confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we’d
have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the
Chinese people and the life of our Party.
The last problem I want to talk about is of firmly seizing the preparations for
military battle. The central committee believes, as long as we resolve the United
States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will all be readily solved.
Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan, but in fact is
aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the scope of attacking
aircraft carriers or satellites. Marxism pointed out that violence is the midwife for
the birth of the new society. Therefore war is the midwife for the birth of China’s
century.””

How Rahm Is Reviving the GOP
By John BatchelorcloseAuthor: John Batchelor Name: John Batchelor

Troy — I had high hopes that Fitzgerald would get him because of the 21 phone calls made to Blago over the senate seat. Twas not to be–so twinkle toes continues to be a thorn. I don’t know how these sleazeballs sleep at night.

The new info posted by Leo is very important and the arsenal of non eligibilty ammo is growing evey week….I don’t think that the courts have seen the last of Leo….He will reimurge when the right case presents itself.

“Mr. Obama is now placing America in severe jeopardy in his Bush bashing attacks on the CIA, by that criminal conspirator Eric Holder who moved Bill Clinton to pardon Marc Rich who was Saddam Hussein’s money laundering kingpin.
The entire infrastructure of American security is now to a point that wars are being staged to bring about a deflection for Obama to attempt to stay in power illegally.

Mr. Obama must be stripped of the White House immediately. He must be stripped of the title 44th President as he is not and never has been. He is an illegal and a seditious conspirator against the Constitution of the United States of America.

It is past time that Ann Coulter untie her butterfly sanitary pad she has knotted up for Obama and past time Joseph Farah stop playing coy, because numbers of people’s lives are in jeopardy of WMD death once these Obama Wars escalate to the next stage he intends.

This is not a game for profits nor a pleasure in protecting one’s Obama inflatable doll. This is about cities disappearing in WMD exchanges and masses of people dying all because Bearick Obama is on a consumption spree that is going to feed on dead people to keep hisself in power.”

Gosh Rose, I hope you are right.
My kids are still young (21 and under).
Thank goodness they are informed.
All I can do is apologize to them for
what this country has become and
it’s not their fault. (only two can vote for now).
I am afraid for my kids.
I am still unemployed from my layoff and it
doesn’t matter how much education I have.
I stayed at home with my kids and I am
“unemployable” at this point. Money is extremely tight.

If you haven’t checked out the latest from Leo and you want to remain fully educated on the NBC issue, then you need to go read the latest…It turns out that Leo is recieving plenty of assistance from others…This issue isn’t over yet…We will prevail!!!

I watch Glenn Beck every day and there is one commercial that runs constantly which I have not seen at all today — UPS. I think I will send them an email and ask why they are not advertising on his show.

The alarm has been sounded. Politicians, pharmaceutical executives and media conglomerates would have us believe that a 1918-style pandemic is a real threat. The 1918 pandemic, however, evolved out of conditions unique to World War I, for four specific reasons.

Why 2009 is Not 1918

First, World War I was characterized by millions of troops living in waterlogged trenches along the Western Front. This war zone became fertile ground for an opportunistic virus, as medical literature reveals:

“…a landscape that was contaminated with respiratory irritants such as chlorine and phosgene, and characterized by stress and overcrowding, the partial starvation in civilians, and the opportunity for rapid ‘passage’ of influenza in young soldiers would have provided the opportunity for multiple but small mutational charges throughout the viral genome.” (1)

Second, the war witnessed the growth of industrial-scale military camps and embarkation ports, such as Etaples in France, enabling the flu virus to enter into another phase of accelerated mutation. On any given day, Etaples was a makeshift city of 100,000 troops from around the British Empire and its former dominions. These soldiers concentrated into unsanitary barracks, tents and mess halls.

Today, many cities and nations have dense concentrations of people; none of these, however, are geographically isolated under the conditions of trench warfare and World War I-style deployments. Of course, there are smaller, sub-populations of people in prisons (prone to multi-drug resistant tuberculosis), in military barracks (prone to respiratory pathogens and meningococcal infections) and on cruise ships (prone to the Norovisus) – all proof of the connection between human confinement on the one hand and infectious disease on the other.

Third, after the war, ships such as the USS Alaskan became floating Petri dishes. Thousands of soldiers were packed like sardines for the long voyage home, allowing the virus to reverberate within hermetically-sealed units.

Fourth, returning troops were stuffed into boxcars for the train trip back to military bases, where they infected new recruits. Later, it was documented that Army regiments whose barracks allowed only 45 square feet per soldier had a flu incidence up to ten times that of regiments afforded 78 square feet per man. (2)

The 1918 flu virus became pandemic because, during World War I, the normal host-pathogen relationship was abandoned when millions of young men crowded into geographical confinement. In World War I, a flu virus was presented with a seemingly limitless number of hosts – almost all young, male, and with compromised immune systems. Unconstrained and unchecked by the usual habits of human behavior, the virus went rogue.

Flu viruses are smart, but they are not suicidal: if the host becomes extinct the virus will become extinct too. The evolutionary strategy, from the virus’s perspective, is to stay one step ahead of the immune systems of both humans and animals – but not two steps ahead. The flu virus aims to infect and reproduce without killing a critical mass of the hosts, of the herd, so the virus’s virulence is ameliorated after it becomes fatal for people on the margins of the host population – the weak and the elderly. World War I disrupted this synchronized, co-evolutionary relationship between flu viruses and human populations.

No flu since 1918 has been strong enough to produce, in millions of people, a “cytokine storm,” which is an immunological over-reaction leading to pulmonary edema (the lungs filling with fluid) – the curse of those with the strongest immune systems, normally between 20 and 40 years of age.

In normal flu pandemics, even in severe ones, the flu virus kills a portion of the weak and elderly. This appears to be the case in 1837 for Germany and in 1890 for Russia in 1890, though reliable medical evidence is scarce. It was certainly true for the Asian flu of 1957 and the Hong Kong flu of 1968, neither of which were significantly fatal for young adults. The flu 1976-1977 has been exposed as a boondoggle, a fraud, with far more people dying of the vaccine than from the flu itself.

Indeed, 1918 was an aberration. Since then, no flu has scythed away so many people: some 500,000 Americans and anywhere between 25 – 50 million people worldwide in three waves: first in March, then in August (the deadliest wave), and in then again in November of 1918, lasting into the spring of 1919.

The origins of the 1918 pandemic can be traced back to the trenches of the Western Front in 1915, 1916, and 1917 – to the world’s first large-scale industrial and international war. There was no other cause: If WWI had not been fought, it is inconceivable that the 1918 flu pandemic would have been so severe. Today, in 2009, absent the conditions of WWI, it is preposterous for political and medical authorities to claim that the swine flu is a menace to society.

The Mysterious Origins of the H1N1 “Swine Flu” Virus

If the current H1N1 swine flu virus does become abnormally lethal, there would be three leading explanations: first, that the virus was accidentally released, or escaped, from a laboratory; second, that a disgruntled lab employee unleashed the virus (as happened, according to the official version of events, with the 2001 anthrax attack); or third, that a group, corporation or government agency intentionally released the virus in the interests of profit and power.

Each of the three scenarios represents a plausible explanation should the swine virus become lethal. After all, the 1918 flu virus was dead and buried – until, that is, scientists unearthed a lead coffin to obtain a biopsy of the corpse it contained. Later, researchers similarly disturbed an Inuit woman buried under permafrost. (3)

The US Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, with a scientist from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, then began to reconstruct the 1918 Spanish flu. Had Iran or North Korea engaged in Frankenstein experiments (complete with ransacking graves) to reverse engineer the 1918 virus the US and the UK would have gone ballistic at the UN Security Council.

Interestingly, numerous doctors and scientists suspect that the swine flu virus was cultured in a laboratory. A mainstream Australian virologist, Adrian Gibbs – who was one of the first to analyze the genetic properties of the 2009 swine flu – believes that scientists accidentally created the H1N1 virus while producing vaccines. And Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director, “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified.”(4) Because of this, the 2009 swine flu virus – which has yet to be detected in any animals – has a rather suspicious pedigree.

The Propaganda Campaign

Across the mainstream media, reports announce one swine flu death after another (even though ordinary flu kills about 35,000 Americans each year). Upon closer scrutiny of what passes for journalism, the victims have “underlying health problems,” or “a common underlying health condition,” or “significant medical conditions.”

One news headline even blared: “Swine flu mother dies after giving birth, leaving her premature baby fighting for life,” and only later, buried deep in the story underneath, did it explain that she had “other medical problems” which included being confined to a wheelchair because of a serious car accident.

Citizens the world over are increasingly skeptical of hyped headlines followed by smaller-print caveats. They are uneasy with the effort to create “doublethink” – a term coined by George Orwell in 1984 and a reference to holding two contradictory ideas in one’s mind simultaneously, paralyzing critical thought.

The media has never been in the habit of reporting the cases of people who, for no known reason, die of the flu. Out of the 35,000 Americans who die each year from flu-related illnesses, some are bound to be relatively young and healthy. It happens. This year, however, their stories are front-page news.

More recently, news reports now claim that the H1N1 swine flu can affect people in the lungs and lead to pneumonia. This, however, is what separates the flu from the common cold in the first place; and this is why tens of thousands of elderly people die of flu-related symptoms each year. Fox News even claimed that “this one morphs and mutates and comes back in different ways…,” (like all flu viruses). In short, the media now uses the flu’s own ordinary symptoms to fuel fear.

Fortunately, a growing wave of online media challenges the propaganda. Back in 1976, there were no rival voices, and the Center for Disease Control’s manipulative television commercials dominated the airwaves. Fortunately, as a testament to official shamelessness, these videos are now archived and searchable on the Internet under the title of “1976 Swine Flu Propaganda.”

Now, like then, the US government’s pandemic policy alternates between the ridiculous and the repugnant. The government’s flu website is revealing. First, the historical section on the 1918 virus is intellectually dishonest, making absolutely no link between the unique conditions of World War I and the flu pandemic; instead, the site propagates the erroneous notion that this virus came out of the blue. (5)

Second, the site announces an absurd American Idol-style video contest: “Create a Video About Preventing or Dealing With the Flu & Be Eligible to Win $2500 Cash!” (Congress has earmarked 8 billion dollars for swine flu prevention and can only offer $ 2,500 to the proles – or, rather, to the one prole who, rising above mediocrity, best parrots the Party Line.)

And third, the site encourages the use of Twitter to “stay informed…” There is something mildly disturbing about the US federal government promoting Twitter as a form of resistance to foreign authoritarianism, while, simultaneously, using social networking to further federalize and protect the abuse of power at home.

1976 + 1984 = 2009

In sum, it appears that the 2009 swine flu pandemic will not be 1918. It might be a 1976-style hoax, however, serving profit and power – with a bit of Orwell’s 1984 thrown in for good measure.

Patriot’s Heart Network (PHNMedia.com), in the name of our members and represented by Attorney Stephen Pidgeon, along with Carl Swensson (RiseUpForAmerica.com) Robert Debeaux, Robert Pinkstaff, and Dr. Penny Kelso have successfully filed a petition in the US District Court in Washington, D.C. requesting a Federal Grand Jury be assembled to look into high crimes against the United States of America and against our 1st amendment rights. Defendants on the Petition are Barry Soetoro, (aka Barack Obama) Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean and the Media. These crimes include Conspiracy, False Personation, Intimidation of Voters, Fraud and False Statements, Fraud and related activity, Treason and Misprision of Treason. The motion for relief seeks the appointment of a Federal Grand Jury by the Chief Judge of the DC Court, Royce Lamberth.

This issue about Natural Born Citizenship status and the eligibility to be President is NOT a fringe issue. It is not mere fodder of the misdirected gullible tin hat clubbers. The mocks of those who attempt to minimize and/or toss away sincere American voices as those who just have ‘no clue.’ Qualification to serve as President is a SERIOUS Constitutional issue and it is time that “We The People” get the answers in which We are entitled. We have been ignored, mocked, and laughed at by many. We remain undeterred in our determination to move forward.

For the past several months, we have alerted the various branches of government to our grave concern about the eligibility of this President to hold this position of power. Two weeks ago, we served Congress with testimony of the grave concerns of 1.2 million voices. In return, we received signed receipts and/ or photographic evidence that We the People have served Congress notice of these Constitutional issues! (Information about the trip is available HERE) Through joint efforts with Rise Up For America, we provide information on how citizens across the country can follow-up with their elected Congressional officials. Attorney Generals have been duly informed as well. One action, PHNMedia encourages all to take is to ask their Senators and Representatives to Define Natural Born Citizen. We did so in DC and found neither Senator interviewed knew the meaning, but they voted to confirm the Electoral College! The video or audio evidence of these interviews will be valuable as part of this case. Make your own and we will add them!

I noted that the Wall Street Journal under Rupert Murdoch in writings by William McGurn, that he is speaking of how to save the Obama presidency by moving it to the right………..

Mr. McGurn must have been all for saving the evil Soviet Empire too by moving it to the right.

How about we release Charlie Manson, by moving him to the right in dressing him in a nice nun’s uniform?

Why even bother with Zawahiri and bin Laden, let us just move them to the right and declare them our good terrorist friends like Obama’s other good terror friends.

This is the thing this blog has been most concerned over as McGurn in his meanderings touches upon Newt Gingrich saving the Clinton presidency. Yes it was Newt Gingrich who passed the Contract with America, Clinton signed it all as his successful legacy and that is what saved Bill and Hillary.
In not any way, form or sort does this Conservative want Bearick Obama’s usurpation of the White House saved. I desire him wiped from the books of history as 44 and big black blank spot is posted for the time he was in there before removal as a black spot upon patricians who foisted this cancer upon America which is eating everyone and everything alive like it is a flesh eating disease cousin inviting in ebola plague to bleed this nation dry.

My favorite economist and the only one since Ben Franklin was Milton Freidman, he once gave Don Rumsfeld hell as I have noted here for trying to fix Nixon’s price controls with tax cuts. Milton chewed Rumsfeld out and said, “STOP FIXING THIS SOCIALISM OR PEOPLE WILL THINK IT WORKS!”

I say, command, call for, entice the clarion call for Obama’s tenure is down, so kick it, beat it, stomp on it, throw dirt on it, call in a dump truck and bury it, plant an Everest size mountain on top of it and kill this cancerous Marxism upon America which is raping us of our wealth and making all slaves and blame Obama.
Blame him on the housetops, blame him on billboards, blame him in newspapers, blame him on radio, blame him on television, blame him on the internet, blame him in books and blame him in time capsules SO NO ONE EVER FORGETS THIS CANCER WHICH ATE AMERICA WAS OBAMA’S DOING.

Make it the clarion call of such a scourge, such a plague, such a stigma that all his Peggy Noonan trollops run with shame at the whores they are forever in such shame, ridicule and reproach that none of this idiotic mind trash never dares utter advice or comment again to anyone including the garbage collector.

The GOP as I have warned, had better run from Obama like sailors off a sinking ship so they do not get pulled down in his undertow. The greatest problem for America was Newt Gingrich giving Clinton credit so that fine old Veteran Bob Dole was not elected as President.
Imagine a world without 9 11 and without the disaster of Obama economic implosion.

The worst thing the GOP can do is be a crutch for Obama and the worst thing America can do is back Obama if he moves right, because he has nothing but a cancerous clique under him just like the Clintons in Jamie Gorelick, mother of 9 11, while Bill pandered his power away.

Let the Obama usurpation be abandoned to it’s own decomposition on the road as the rats of Pelosi trucking run over it screaming away from Obama in trying to save their own political careers.
Let the true and native heir to the White House in Sarah Palin state her case for economic, security and Spiritual Salvation for America, and then let the American people decide if she should take her rightful place before 2012 as President of the United States in this lawless land without Constitutional Law at present.

But do not prop up this Obama cancer and feed it with sugar of the last sustenance of life this nation has in trying to save it. Save yourself America and rid yourself of the cancer which you infected yourself with.

Wouldn’t you like to be there when Jack confronts Ted about collaborating with the people that killed him and then see the look on Ted’s face when asked about comparing John to S/Ob, The Supreme Usurper?

On August 26, 2009 judgement day for Ted Kennedy arrived in his passing from brain cancer. Our sincere sympathies and condolences to the family of Ted Kennedy.

God is the ultimate Judge of all we have done in our life time, and God is the only one who knows everything we have done. While many believe Ted Kennedy got away with murder of a young woman years ago, God will now be the Judge and Jury. Ted Kennedy will now face his creator and answer to all that he has done in his life. We wonder how Ted Kennedy will answer to God. There no Union Bosses, Kennedy money or Political back scratching Ted Kennedy can use before God.

Rest in peace Ted Kennedy and may you confess your acts before your creator , that you spent a lifetime lying about and hiding from. May Ted Kennedy now face Mary Jo Kopechne in death.

MARY JO KOPECHNE’S MURDERER IS DEAD — Ted Kennedy’s wealth and power fail him at 77. AT LAST he’ll answer to the God he sometimes claimed to believe in.

You’re going to hear nonstop tribute to the glories of the Kennedy Family for the next several weeks. If you thought the fuss made over Michael Jackson was outrageous, ill-deserved, and myopic in its deliberate ignoring of the seedier side of Jackson’s life, then you are in for a real treat with the MSM’s treatment of Ted Kennedy. They will lionize him as, literally, “The Great Lion of the Senate”. They will remind us how much the Kennedy Family believes it is America’s royal family. We can already hear the chisels and hammers being sharpened to build a pyramid or collonade somewhere in Ted Kennedy’s honor.

And, in our opinion, everywhere anything named after Ted Kennedy is built, three feet away there should be a Mary Jo Kopechne Memorial Garden.

When they put Ted Kennedy in the Capitol Rotunda to be honored as some sort of modern demigod, passing through that marble vestibule like it’s the airport to Olympus, we’d love to see hundreds of people file past that flag-draped coffin wearing Mary Jo Kopechne’s photo on their tee shirts, stamped with NEVER FORGET MARY JO” on them.

The route of procession to Arlington, where we assume Ted Kennedy will be buried with his brothers and America’s Queen, Jackie, should be filled with Mary Jo Kopeche’s smiling face on posters as large as people can hold them.

NEVER FORGET MARY JO.

A wealthy murderer is no more today. A man who snuffed out a young life, but because of who he was, who his brothers were, and who his family is he never had to face consequences for that. The voters of Massachusetts kept re-electing this man, never removing him from the power he coveted so much to punish him in that way, either. Ted Kennedy avoided owning up to what happened that night and never gave the Kopechne family the peace of mind they deserved by being a man and taking responsibility for what he had done…for serving his time in prison for Mary Jo’s death, and then becoming a productive and better citizen after his release. If Ted Kennedy had done THAT, we would be eulogizing him today like nobody’s business.

But, he didn’t.

Instead, Ted Kennedy chose to remain the wealthy, corpulent spider, pulling on the silky strings of power, always moving legistlation and tax dollars to whatever would help his family most, with everyone else in Massachusetts and the rest of the nation mere after thoughts. Even when he was too incapacitated several months ago and was clearly unable to do his job, he refused to let go, refused to do what was right, refused to step down so Massachusetts could have an actual Senator working for them.

Ted Kennedy was a selfish man. He was an indecent and sick man. He was a lying, murdering, consciousless man.

He was a spider.

And he is dead today.

To borrow from Bette Davis via Madlibs, we’ll let you fill in this last bit however you like: “You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good. Ted Kennedy is dead. (FILL IN THIS BLANK)”.

My curiosity was peaked the other day when I read something about JFK and the federal reserve. So this morning I found this. This is truly amazing folks. Rather long, but please read as it gets very interesting.

On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy with the intention to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. This matter has been exhaustively researched by the Christian Common Law Institute through the Federal Register and Library of Congress, and the Institute has conclude that President Kennedy’s Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.

When John Fitzgerald Kennedy, author of Profiles in Courage, signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically to the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency — money — without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy’s Executive Order 11110 gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury” [the full text is displayed below]. This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury’s vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held therein. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. Although $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated, they were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated.

Certainly it’s obvious that President Kennedy knew that the Federal Reserve Notes being circulated as “legal currency” were contrary to the Constitution of the United States, which calls for issuance of “United States Notes” as interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury. Comparing a “Federal Reserve Note” issued from the private central bank of the United States (i.e., the Federal Reserve Bank a/k/a Federal Reserve System), with a “United States Note” from the U.S. Treasury (as issued by President Kennedy’s Executive Order), the two almost look alike, except one says “Federal Reserve Note” on the top while the other says “United States Note”. In addition, the Federal Reserve Note has a green seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and serial number. Following President Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963, the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation, and Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the “legal currency” of the nation.

Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a simple matter of economics. USNs were backed by silver and FRNs were (still are) backed by nothing of intrinsic value. As a result of Executive Order 11110, the national debt would have prevented from reaching its current level (almost all of the $9 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963). Executive Order 11110 also granted the U.S. Government the power to repay past debt without further borrowing from the privately owned Federal Reserve which charged both principle and interest and all new “money” it “created.” Finally, Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the ability to create its own money backed by silver, again giving money real value.

Perhaps President Kennedy’s assassination was a warning to future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve’s control over the creation of money. For, with true courage, JFK had boldly challenged the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (i.e., the Vietnam war); and, 2) the creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 11110 would have destroyed the profits and control of the private Federal Reserve Bank.

Executive Order 11110, the AMENDMENT of EXECUTIVE ORDER No. 10289, as amended RELATING to the PERFORMANCE of CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING the DEPARTMENT of the TREASURY:

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows:

SECTION 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is hereby further amended (a) By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph (j): “(j) The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C. 821 (b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption,” and (b) By revoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof.
SECTION 2. The amendment made by this Order shall not affect any act done, or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not been made.
JOHN F. KENNEDY
THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 4, 1963

As said, Executive Order 11110 is still valid. According to Title 3, United States Code, Section 301 dated January 26, 1998: Executive Order (EO) 10289 dated Sept. 17, 1951, 16 F.R. 9499, was as amended by:

The 1974 and 1987 amendments, added after Kennedy’s 1963 amendment, did not change or alter any part of Kennedy’s EO 11110. A search of Clinton’s 1998 and 1999 EO’s and Presidential Directives has shown no reference to any alterations, suspensions, or changes to EO 11110.

The Federal Reserve Bank, a.k.a Federal Reserve System, is a Private Corporation. Black’s Law Dictionary defines the “Federal Reserve System” as: “Network of twelve central banks to which most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may belong. Membership rules require investment of stock and minimum reserves.” privately owned banks own the stock of the FED. This was explained in more detail in the case of Lewis v. United States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series, Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241 (1982), where the court said: “Each Federal Reserve Bank is a separate corporation owned by commercial banks in its region. The stockholding commercial banks elect two-thirds of each Bank’s nine member board of directors.” In short, Federal Reserve Banks are locally controlled by their member banks.

Also, according to Black’s Law Dictionary, these privately owned banks are “allowed” to issue money: “The Federal Reserve Act, created Federal Reserve banks which act as agents in maintaining money reserves, issuing money in the form of bank notes, lending money to banks, and supervising banks as administered by Federal Reserve Board (q.v.).” Thus the privately owned Federal Reserve (FED) banks are allowed to actually issue (create) the “money” we use.

In 1964, the House Committee on Banking and Currency, Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, at the second session of the 88th Congress, put out a study entitled Money Facts which contains a good description of what the FED is: “The Federal Reserve is a total moneymaking machine. It can issue money or checks. And it never has a problem of making its checks good because it can obtain the $5 and $10 bills necessary to cover its check simply by asking the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving to print them.” Any one person or any closely knit group that has a lot of money has a lot of power. Imagine a group of people with the power to create money. Imagine the power these people would have. This is exactly what the privately owned FED is!

No man did more to expose the power of the FED than Louis T. McFadden, who was the Chairman of the House Banking Committee back in the 1930s. In describing the FED, he remarked in the Congressional Record, House pages 1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932:

Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government Board, has cheated the Government of the United States and he people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the maladministration of that law by which the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.

Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions, departments, or agencies. They are private credit monopolies, which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers. Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully placed upon this country by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality by undermining our American institutions.

The FED basically works like this: The government granted its power to create money to the FED banks. They create money, then loan it back to the government charging interest. The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the debt. On this point, it’s interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment, which gave congress the power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913. The incredible power of the FED over the economy is universally admitted. Some people, especially in the banking and academic communities, support it. On the other hand, there are those like President John F. Kennedy, that have spoken out against it. His efforts were lauded about in Jim Marrs’ 1990 book Crossfire:

Another overlooked aspect of Kennedy’s attempt to reform American society involves money. Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. He moved in this area on June 4, 1963, by signing Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System. That same day, Kennedy signed a bill changing the backing of one and two dollar bills from silver to gold, adding strength to the weakened U.S. currency.

Kennedy’s comptroller of the currency, James J. Saxon, had been at odds with the powerful Federal Reserve Board for some time, encouraging broader investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal Reserve system. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could underwrite general obligation bonds, again weakening the dominant Federal Reserve banks.”

In a speech made to Columbia University on Nov. 12, 1963, ten days before his assassination, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said: “The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American’s freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this plight.” In this matter, John Fitzgerald Kennedy appears to be the subject of his own book… a true Profile of Courage. According to the Constitution of the United States, (Article 1 Section 8), only Congress has the authority to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures. However, since 1913 this Article has been ignored by creation and existence of the Federal Reserve Act, which has given a private owned corporation the power and authority to “create” and coin the money of United States. The Federal Reserve is comprised of 12 private credit monopolies who have been given the authority to control the supply of the “Federal Reserve Notes,” interest rates and all the other monetary and banking phenomena.

The way the Federal Reserve works is this: 12 private credit monopolies “create”, (print), Federal Reserve Notes that are then “lent” to the American government. This is a circular affair in that the government grants the FED power to create the money, which the FED then loans back to the government, charging interests. The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the debt. It is interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment which gave congress the power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913. The Federal Reserve Notes are not backed by anything of “intrinsic” value. (i.e., gold or silver).

On June 4, 1963, President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy signed a Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, which stripped the Federal Reserve Banking System of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. This decree meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury’s vault, the U.S. government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held therein. As a result, more than $4 trillion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. Kennedy knew that if the silver backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. By giving the U.S. Treasury the Constitutional authority to coin U.S. money once again, EO 11110 would thus prevent the national debt from rising due to “usury” that the American people are charged for “borrowing” (i.e., using) FRN’s.

Kennedy knew that, if Congress coined and regulated money, as the Constitution states, the national debt would be reduced by not paying interest to the 12 credit monopolies. This in itself would have allowed the American people freedom to freely use all the money they have earned, enabling the economy to grow. Now, Executive Order 11110 is still in effect, even though no U.S. President has had the courage to follow it. As Americans, it is our duty to question the Federal Reserve System and the power that we have given it by electing presidents that lack the courage of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Why don’t they track down the DEMs that paid him $500.00 to do the deed?

UPDATE: Democrat Chair Backtracks) “Progressive” Caught Vandalizing CO Democrat HQ; Democrat Party Chair Tries to Blame ObamaCare Opponents
UPDATE: Pat Waak, the chair of the Colorado Democrat Party, is eating a well-earned sh*t sandwhich over her baseless accusations today:

Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver’s art district was a consequence of “an effort on the other side to stir up hate.” She tempered her statement after Schwenkler’s political history was revealed.

“What I’ve been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum,” Waak said. “That’s what’s been disturbing to me. People are saying a lot of things not appropriate for civil discourse.”

No, you Democrat fraud. That’s not what you said. You said ON THE OTHER SIDE. You were clearly directing your blame at Republicans and opponents of ObamaCare. Now you are pretending that it’s “both sides.” If it was both sides, then why did you accuse THE OTHER SIDE of doing it?

Is this little failed Reichstag fire created by one of your losers the fault of THE OTHER SIDE, or your side?

Stop trying to spread the blame around because you got caught shooting your mouth off before knowing the facts. The perp is a leftist who campaigned for Obama, and you blamed others for his actions. Come out and DENOUNCE his actions forcefully – call a press conference and condemn this act and others no doubt planned by your side like it.

EPIC FAIL.

Original post- – ->
I love the smell of Democrats blaming “hate” on “the other side” in the morning.

Smells like EPIC FAIL.

A 24-year-old arrested this morning on suspicion of smashing 11 windows at Colorado Democratic Party headquarters tried to conceal his identity while allegedly committing the crime, according to police descriptions.
[snip]

While Schwenkler does not appear in the state’s voter registration database, a person by that name in November 2008 received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.

The accountant for the 527 appears to be the same woman who handles the books for many other Democratic-leaning political committees.

You’ll be shocked to know that this punk, working with the COlorado Citizens Coalition, was actually paid by SEIU to do election “communications” last fall, too.

Just two weeks ago, we had an Obamacrat caught pretending to be a white supremacist online who threatened a black student at Nicholls State University in Louisiana – in an attempt to have “racism” and by extension the townhall protesters – blamed for the “hate.”

It would appear they’re trying to create their own Reichstag Fire and scream that it’s their opponents doing it – opponents who are doing nothing more than exercising first amendment rights to disagree with their politicians. They’re failing.

Such honest, civil, level-headed people we’re dealing with who support this Administration and its machinations.

More from MM and Westword.

New term coined: SMASHtroturfing

PS – Mongol in the comments reminds us of the fake “primary care doctors” who weren’t doctors, but rather Obama canvasers, caught astroturfing a townhall.

Oh, here we f**king go with this bullshit!!!….If you can’t do it for Amerika, then do it for Teddy….Just wait and you’ll see.

Taking Bets: Who Will Be The First Democrat To Invoke Ted Kennedy’s Name In Attempt to Pass ObamaCare?

I say Nancy Pelosi.

Any takers?

I think Ann Althouse has it right.

Apparently, ABC News, in their effort to fall over themselves with their lamentations and obits, has already started the race to the bottom:

For Kennedy, the ascension of Obama was an important step toward realizing his goal of health care reform.

At the Democratic National Convention in August 2008, the Massachusetts Democrat promised, “I pledge to you that I will be there next January on the floor of the United States Senate when we begin the great test.”

Sen. Kennedy made good on that pledge, but ultimately lost his battle with cancer.

Nancy Pelosi has also released a statement:
WASHINGTON (AFP) – US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed Wednesday to push through embattled health reform legislation this year following the death of Senator Ted Kennedy, who called the effort “the cause of my life”.

“Ted Kennedy’s dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this year because of his leadership and his inspiration,” Pelosi said in a statement.

Mary Jo was not available to comment on the health care legislation Pelosi was referring to.

“I haven’t heard about those guys,” Ermey told Military.com during an Aug. 21 interview. “If I do run across them though, trust me, I’ll square them away.”

Two GIs deployed to Iraq have insisted that Obama isn’t a legal citizen while another Soldier, Maj. Stefan Cook, has been waging a court fight – first in Georgia, then Florida – to force the president to produce a birth certificate that will satisfy his objections.

The cases are the first known instances of some troops joining what has become known as the “birther” movement, referring to Americans who doubt whether Obama is technically qualified to be president based on the absence of a “long form” birth certificate that documents where he was born.

Cook initially volunteered for deployment, but later refused the orders on grounds that Obama cannot deploy him because he is not legally president.

Forgive me for not praying for Kennedy’s soul. I hope for his soul’s sake, that he got himself right with God. But, I will pray for souls of the ‘faithfully departed’. He never lived his life faithful to the Church, therefore, I’ll assume he remained faithful to evil at the end.

“If I do run across them though, trust me, I’ll square them away.”
******************************************************
Oh, I hope like hell that he tries to “square someone away” as it will create a long list of individuals who will have “standing” to proceed all the way to the Supreme Court…Hey Ermey, come on over and square me away, you asshole!!!

Thanks NE…My sentiments exactly…All the SOB ever had to do was stand up like a man and admit to what he had done in abandoning that poor girl to die a horrible death…He should have been risking his life to save her, but his precious career was far more important.

The “certification of live birth” posted online and widely touted as “Obama’s birth certificate” does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same “short-form” document is easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii.

The true “long-form” birth certificate – which includes information such as the name of the birth hospital and attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release for public or press scrutiny.

Oddly, though congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a “natural born citizen,” no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama’s claim to a Hawaiian birth.

It’s hard for me to believe that anyone would think that the ridiculous looking document that Lucas Smith put forward is a genuine BC…No one would like for it to be true more than me, but about five seconds of viewing it was all I needed to know it was a BS BC.

Wow…Talking about someone being a little late to the dance….This guy is way behind the eight ball…I hope that he is keeping up with the latest at Leo’s blog…It’s seems so weird that people are finally waking up to what we have all known and educated ourselves on for over a year now…Actually, it’s pathetic!!!

And that Hassan Abbassi, a Revolutionary Guard intelligence adviser said this in 2004.

“We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization…[W]e must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites, and we know how we are going to attack them.”

HH: You know, Mike, I’m going to disagree with you. I’ve always thought that the American people are very, very savvy, that the GOP got

clobbered in ’06 and ’08 because they were dissatisfied with the GOP in ’06 and ’08. And I think Obamacare has got a big D on it, and this

staggering deficit that came out today has a big D on it, and the prosecution of the CIA officers who are protecting America has got a big

D on it. I think a tsunami is forming, but I think it’s got a big D on it. What do you think?

MA: I hear your argument, and I’m going to ask you a tough question that I know that you’ll answer honestly. Would the House Democrats be better off if they pass a health care bill, or sink a health care bill?

HH: They’d be better off if they pass it, and let the Senate sink it. I think it’s like cap and trade.

MA: That’s good. That’s good. So to answer your question about the son of Tark, who’s running against the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid in

Nevada, shocking poll number that came out about Leader Reid this week, showing that he’s down double digits against the Tark’s son, and

also down to a second potential opponent, state party chairwoman out there, and it’s a reminder, Hugh, that leaders do lose, right? As Tom

Daschle, as Tom Foley, and so there’s a lot of worry in Democratic ranks, and add in this, Hugh, also, if Harry Reid is in the race of his life,

imagine how that’s going to affect his job of trying to run the President’s agenda. So the White House has lots of reasons to be concerned about

If you are suggesting that Kennedy turned his back on his Creator, that may be true.

But I believe our Creator is always there waiting for us to turn back around.

I know I have some funny ideas!

I absolutely agree that The Lord is waiting for us to return with open arms. My point is, after someone has lived a life of evil, (murder, divorce, affairs, drunkeness, and support of abortion), how difficult is it at the end to let go of what you’ve known all your life and suddenly make a true and honest confession? My feeling is that he still, at the end believed he did great things with his life, and didn’t really feel sorry about supporting evil. Of course it’s just a guess, and no one can judge his soul but The Lord. He was never faithful to the Church, in my opinion, he shouldn’t even get a Catholic funeral.

My point is, after someone has lived a life of evil, (murder, divorce, affairs, drunkeness, and support of abortion), how difficult is it at the end to let go of what you’ve known all your life and suddenly make a true and honest confession?

(Probably very difficult but not entirely out of the question. He was probably drunk and that is why she drowned, that is why he couldn’t save her, that is why he waited so long to notify authorities. And he probably didn’t want to face his wife his family. So he is guilty of being a coward, and I’m sure that deep down he knew that. To be honest, I don’t know where exactly Kennedy stood on on-demand abortion, late-term abortions. But I do believe he made some statements which jeopardized our mission in Iraq and I believe he made them for purely political reasons. So, in my mind, he is a coward and a hypocrite. But that doesn’t make him irredeemable.)

My feeling is that he still, at the end believed he did great things with his life, and didn’t really feel sorry about supporting evil.

(That’s called denial. Because deep down I believe we all have access to the truth. And we really don’t know that for sure.)

Of course it’s just a guess, and no one can judge his soul but The Lord.

(You may be right. I hope you’re wrong, but you may be right. This is why I always say that fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. And by that I don’t mean fire and brimstone. I mean that we will all have to face our Maker someday and account for this gift of life. Kennedy was truly human, a real mixture of good and bad. He may be in purgatory, as far as I know he was a believer, I hope he wasn’t a closet Atheist.)

He was never faithful to the Church, in my opinion, he shouldn’t even get a Catholic funeral.

Patriots, Last Saturday night the sky looked so threatened with storms that I know a lot of you decided to not make the trip to Orlando. But let me tell you about the storm there…It was not a wet thunderstorm – it was a PATRIOT STORM!!

Although the paper reported 2,000 there was every bit of 5,000 in attendance. Lake Eola was so thick with people that you couldn’t even get through on the sidewalk. There were signs and banners and posters everywhere showing people’s opinion about the direction that our country is headed. We are in the process of uploading some of these pictures to our facebook page. On facebook search Lakeland Tax Day Tea Party and you will be able to view our page.

Orlando had 6 speakers – each one of them knocked our socks off with information and enthusiasm about the issues we are facing with this current administration. There were no opposition groups that I saw or heard. They would have to be insane to come into a crowd of Patriots like that. One of the highlights of the night was when Dr. David McKalip, a neurosurgeon from St. Pete, spoke about healthcare reform. The Doctor will be with us on Sept. 12th. Mark your calendar now and bring everyone with you to the Lakeland 9/12 TEA Party.

God Bless America!

People of vision see the invisible, hear the inaudible, think the unthinkable, believe the incredible, and do the impossible.

Doing good qualifies one for absolutely nothing other than maybe a statue in park or plaque on a building. Being sustained eternally by God is a gift accepted by dehumanizing self, repenting of your self indulgent consuming/pornographic ways and having faith in His Son & His Truth. Grace does not build part of the bridge, it builds the whole bloody bridge. Obedience alone doesn’t cut it. Human works are a burden of being forgiven, not the cause of that forgiveness. When Christ says only God is good, he means that only God can sustain you eternally.

“Democrats can keep claiming all they want that illegal immigrants will not be covered in this bill. But their actions speak louder than their words. Democrats have rejected opportunities to close the gaping loopholes in this health care bill that will allow illegal immigrants to participate.

“If President Obama is committed to ensuring that illegal immigrants do not benefit from the bill – as he says he is – why not include the same verification mechanisms in this bill as already exist for other federal benefits programs?

“What’s more, the bill contains no provisions preventing illegal immigrants from participating in the Health Insurance Exchange that is to be created, including the government-run “public plan” that will be available through the federally-run and federally-subsidized Exchange. This is in direct conflict with the President’s claim that illegal immigrants will not be insured under his plan.

“The American people are more intelligent than the President gives them credit for. They understand that simply saying illegal immigrants can’t participate without providing verification is like putting a speed-limit sign on a road, then setting a policy that prohibits police from patrolling the road; it won’t stop speeders, and this bill won’t stop illegal immigrants from benefitting.”

BACKGROUND: IMMIGRATION LOOPHOLES IN HR 3200

Open access to Insurance Exchange: HR 3200 contains no provisions preventing illegal immigrants from participating in the Health Insurance Exchange that is to be created, including the government-run “public plan” that will be available through the federally-run and federally-subsidized Exchange.

According to CRS: “Under H.R. 3200, a ‘Health Insurance Exchange’ would begin operation in 2013 and would offer private plans alongside a public option…H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitzens—whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently—participating in the Exchange.”

No verification mechanism: Democrats point to language in the House bill that says illegal immigrants cannot get benefits. While that may be technically accurate, it is far from the truth.

The fact is that the statement is meaningless because the bill contains no verification mechanism to ensure that illegal immigrants do not receive benefits. Democrats defeated amendments in two congressional committees to close this loophole, including amendments that would use the very same verification mechanism that already exist in statute for other federal programs. Why not include the same verification mechanisms in this bill as already exist for other federal benefits programs? Without the requirement that there be a verification mechanism or a specific verification mechanism provided in statute, the Commissioner could determine that the eligibility requirements could be met either without verification or with as little as a signed attestation.

According to CRS: “Some have expressed concerns that since H.R. 3200 does not contain a mechanism to verify immigration status, the prohibitions on certain noncitizens (e.g, nonimmigrants and unauthorized aliens) receiving the credits may not be enforced. However, others note that under §142(a)(3) of the bill, it is the responsibility of the Health Choices Commissioner (Commissioner) to administer the “individual affordability credits under subtitle C of title II, including determination of eligibility for such credits.”

Family eligibility for affordability credits: Section 242(a)(2) of the bill provides that “[e]xcept as the Commissioner may otherwise provide, members of the same family who are affordable credit eligible individuals shall be treated as a single affordable credit individual eligible for the applicable credit for such a family under this subtitle.” This suggests that if one member of a family is legally eligible, every family member will be considered eligible. This is significant in terms of numbers — the Pew Hispanic Center estimated that there are almost two million families in the United States where illegal immigrant parents have U.S.-born children. That does not include other “mixed status families” – one legal parent, one illegal parent and illegal child, etc.

According to CRS: “There could be instances where some family members would meet the definition of an eligible individual for purposes of the credit, while other family members would not. For example, in a family consisting of a U.S. citizen married to an unauthorized alien and a U.S. citizen child, the U.S. citizen spouse and child could meet the criteria for being a credit-eligible individual, while the unauthorized alien spouse would not meet the criteria. H.R. 3200 does not expressly address how such a situation would be treated. Therefore, it appears that the Health Choices Commissioner would be responsible for determining how the credits would be administered in the case of mixed-status families.”

Democrat Power Play Afoot In Massachusetts To Retain Senate Numbers For Health Care Nuclear Option

August 26th, 2009 Posted By Pat Dollard.

“Without the change, Senate Democrats could potentially fall one vote short on any health care overhaul legislation, were such a bill brought up before the special election”

BOSTON (AP) – Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Wednesday he would support changing state law to allow him to appoint an interim successor to Sen. Edward Kennedy’s seat while a special election is held.

Unlike most states, a successor to a vacant U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts is chosen by special election, not appointed by the governor.

In a recent letter to lawmakers, Kennedy, who died Tuesday night, said the law should be changed to allow the governor to appoint someone to serve in the Senate during the course of the election—provided that person pledge not to run for the seat.

In radio interviews Wednesday morning, Patrick called the idea “entirely reasonable” and told WBUR-FM that he would sign the bill if it reached his desk.

“Massachusetts needs two voices” in the Senate, Patrick said.

Although Massachusetts is dominated by Democrats, a change in the law isn’t a sure thing.

Senate President Therese Murray and House Speaker Robert DeLeo, both Democrats, issued statements of condolence early Wednesday, but neither has expressed support for giving the governor the power to name an interim successor. Republicans in both chambers, who hold about 10 percent of legislative seats in Massachusetts, oppose the idea.

Without the change, Senate Democrats could potentially fall one vote short on any health care overhaul legislation, were such a bill brought up before the special election. Health care had been Kennedy’s core issue for decades.

Democrats hold a potentially filibuster-proof margin in the Senate, but some moderate Democrats have been wavering. Another Democrat, Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, has been seriously ill and often absent.

Any change in state law is not likely to happen immediately. Lawmakers are not expected to return to formal sessions until after Labor Day.

State law requires a special election for the seat no sooner than 145 days and no later than 160 days after a vacancy occurs. The law bans an interim appointee.

The clock for a special election is triggered either on the date of a resignation or the incumbent’s death. It’s up to the governor to pick the exact date of the election.

Any race to succeed Kennedy would be crowded and fiercely fought.

Despite speculation that Kennedy’s wife, Vicki, could assume his Senate seat, family aides have said she is not interested in replacing her husband either temporarily or permanently. One of Kennedy’s nephews, former Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II, has also been described as interested.

Other potential Democratic candidates include state Attorney General Martha Coakley, U.S. Reps. Stephen Lynch, Michael Capuano, Edward Markey, James McGovern and William Delahunt, and former Rep. Martin Meehan, now chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.

On the Republican side, potential candidates include Cape Cod businessman Jeff Beatty, former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan, state Sen. Scott Brown and Chris Egan, former U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Cooperation and Development.

The succession law was changed in 2004, when Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., became his party’s presidential nominee and Republican Mitt Romney was the state’s governor. Before the change, the governor would have appointed a replacement to serve until the next general election.

That would have created the opportunity for Romney to install a fellow Republican in office, a move that Democrats who control the state legislature sought to prevent.

Last week, Kennedy asked Massachusetts lawmakers to change state law to give Patrick, a fellow supporter of President Barack Obama and a backer of Obama’s health care overhaul, the ability to appoint an interim replacement should he be unable to continue serving.

“It is vital for this Commonwealth to have two voices speaking for the needs of its citizens and two votes in the Senate during the approximately five months between a vacancy and an election,” Kennedy said in a letter to Patrick.

The first time that I had ever heard of Clarence Thomas was during he Anita Hill scandal.

Here’s a little tidbit I just discovered.

“In 1977, he (Thomas) accepted a position in the law department of Monsanto Chemical Corporation.”

Y’all remember? Monsanto is the developer of the terminator seeds. I believe they are also the developers of round up and have genetically altered seeds to resist herbicides. Some Monsanto seeds produce crops that ARE the insecticide and will kill insects that take a little taste. Geez!

They also sue farmers if their seeds end up amoung a farmers legitiment crop. Doesn’t matter how. The Monsanto plants could’ve come through animal dropping or via the wind and the courts have sided w/ Monsanto. Farmers have had to destroy all their saved seeds to avoid planting Monsanto patented seeds w/in their crops w/o a license. Seeds that farmers may have been saving over decades of crop generations.

Monsanto, as we’ve talked about here as well, is owned by The Rockefeller Foundation.

Anyway, thought it was interesting a worth sharing the Rockefeller/SCOTUS connection, albeit a distant and remote connection. It should be something to keep in mind. Especially when they have private meetings w/ ole’ BO.

“When explaining to people that the government will order a mass vaccination campaign as early as mid-September, 2009, many say, “They aren’t going to vaccinate me.” If you ask public health and law enforcement officials they will tell you that the law does not allow people to be vaccinated against their will. That may be true in times of peace while elected officials are performing their duties and civil governments are still empowered. However, in a declared state of emergency, the civil authority is supplanted by martial, or military authority. Civilian officials and employees may be “deputized” to help administrate martial authority during an emergency, but civil law is effectively suspended for the duration of the emergency. The following article, originally written in Dec., 2001, has been edited and updated slightly to show that, if/when a medical emergency is declared, people will be forced to submit to a variety of inconveniences without their consent—including invasive medical interventions—or face severe consequences one generally associates with war zones. It is also plainly stated that no one working for or with the government will be held liable for death or damages to persons or their properties should they result from good-faith performance of their “lawful” duties. Since October, 2001, the tenets of MSEHPA has been sewn into the pandemic preparedness plans of most, if not all, of the several states. (which are as follows: AL, AK, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, LA, ME, MD, MN, MO, MT, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NC, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WI, and WY)”

“The United States Emergency Medical Powers Acts and Federal legislation, including the Patriot Acts I, II and III, BARDA and others provide for mandatory vaccination or drugging. No exemptions (religious or otherwise) are provided. Those who refuse will be classified as felons at the State level, subject to immediate incarceration and quarantine of indefinite length in jails or other facilities reserved for such “vaccine refusers.” In a frightening “Big Lie” propaganda move, those who doubt the effectiveness of unproven, uninsurable vaccines are being called ” Vaccine Resisters” and being equated to a new form of “terrorism.”

Those who refuse at the Federal level will be subject to immediate incarceration and quarantine of indefinite length, probably in FEMA camps set up across the US.

That means that untested, potentially lethal vaccines and dangerous drugs like Tamiflu could be forced upon people who do not wish them and who would face incarceration or worse if they choose not to accept them. The CDC has said that there would be no exemptions and that there would be “a certain amount of human wastage”. Instead, we demand the right to Self-Shield in our own homes!”

For all I know, Senator Kennedy could be my grandchild in his next incarnation.

I mean really, who knows?

Don’t pretend to know.

Dear Rosie,

I don’t want to be disrespectful in your place here. I only say this because I care.

The Holy Scriptures clearly state that after death comes the judgment. I don’t think I need to define what judgment is according to God’s Word. But it’s got nothing at all to do w/ being reincarnated. It’s eternal damnation or eternal fellowship w/ Jesus — the only way to the Father.

I believe Jesus refered to hell some 23 times himself. I think it’s safe to say that He would have also told us about reincarnation, imho.

Rose I believe that as long as we draw breath here on this earth. Right up to a person’s dying moment they can confess. And thru Jesus Christ, God will overlook that life of sin. However, in the last days God will cause a strong delusion on the people,( 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 (King James Version)

11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I fear that this will be for those who have time and time again turned their back on God and no matter what they do, they will have already made their choice.

I believe He gives us as many chances as we need.
That’s okay, I don’t expect anyone to agree with me.

*******

Rose, it’s OK. I didn’t think you were trying to get anyone to agree w/ you. It’s contrary to my Beacon, the Lamp — God’s Word.

I am just concerned because you seem to be believing some other path so I was hoping to convince you to reconsider. Hoping that you would come to believe that God’s Word can be fully trusted, that anything that contradicts it is false, and that when He says after death you meet the judgment, that’s it. You can truly depend on it. That’s why I mention it. Maybe you still might reconsider. But I’ll leave you be about it unless you want to talk about it more. :c)

Did Ted repent (turn around) before he died? I sure hope that the God of mercy reached down to Ted and convicted his heart and he repented received the Lord Jesus before his death. All I can do is judge the fruit of his life, not the condition of his heart when he died.

“All I can do is judge the fruit of his life, not the condition of his heart when he died.”

Lexi I hope you didn’t mean to say “judge.” Only God judges that and that still does not get you to heaven. Romans 3:12 …there is none that doeth good, no, not one and Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

“H1N1 may not be as lethal as reported, but your government is far more dangerous than you previously thought.

Are they stupid, or are they evil? They are one of the two or both. You decide…As for me, it doesn’t really matter because the outcome is the same. A government bankrupted out of gross ignorance is no less bankrupt and an innocent citizen dead due to government ignorance is no less dead.

Be aware… But don’t be afraid!

I have lived under the belief that stupid policies are designed for stupid people, and therefore, they don’t apply to me.

I wanted the American people to have the information their government doesn’t want them to have. Do what you think best with this information!”

In order to place a tearful face on ObamaCare and more easily ram it down the throats of the American people, Democrats are planning to elicit sympathy over the recent death of Uber-leftist Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA). Some months ago Rush Limbaugh was one of, if not the, first to say that in order to push through the draconian, anti-life and anti-human ObamaCare the death of Kennedy might serve the Democrats well.

Yes jb, I meant it , an in appraise, review, rate, access, discern, distinguish, examine, and base it on Matthew 7:16-20.

“You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

If you’ll notice, I did say that the condition of his heart at his death is not something I can not judge.

Did you guys watch Beck tonight. Isn’t this stuff scary as all get out. Its like out of the twilight zone. That new guy at the FCC is frightening — I’m sure there are career employees especially in human resources who have started files and are documenting everything that they are ordered to do so when the stuff hits the fan they can cta. 🙂

Lexi I agree that the word judge has those meanings as well. But most of us take the word judge to mean condemn or pass judgment on. Guess that is the legal side of me coming out from being involved with Contract law for so many years. But “Therefore by their fruits you will know them” means exactly that – “You Will Know Them.” Yes, we can more than likely say that TD displayed by some of his actions that he was not bearing good fruit. But it only means we KNOW he wasn’t. He was suppose, note I said suppose to be, a good Catholic, so with that in mind you could refer to 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 where Paul said “What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked man from among you.” So if you consider him “Inside” then as Paul says are we suppose to judge him. But see by him being known by his fruits, which some determine are not Godly, that places him “outside” then God judges him, not us.

I know I’m warped :smile”

It is all a play on words here. Either way you share the same sentiments that I do about TD. I do not believe he was a sincere God fearing person based on his past actions and some of his present actions. In my opinion he was a greedy power monger who thought he was above the law.

Something big seems to be taking place between Leo’s ears…It seems that he had some sort of epiphany today…This is from his comments section.

Thanks Leo. I know you are more concerned about what the article says about nbc, but I think Collin’s view on the citizenship of children born on US soil of a non citizen father is important. We have all grown up believing that children of aliens born on US soil are citizens automatically, but this was never what was intended in the 14th amendment. I think this misinterpretation has clouded the meaning of natural born citizen and that is why everyone is so concerned about the birth certificate. I also think that this misinterpretation is one of the reasons why the nbc issue is so controversial. If you really delve into all of this, you get into the whole anchor baby question and that could anger a huge part of the voting electorate.
In response to Ladyhawke’s comment above, you said that Obama would be a citizen by statute. Which statute is that? Do you mean he would be a citizen according to the current interpretation of the 14th amendment as defined by Wong Kim Ark?
If this is the case, Gray’s opinion in Wong Kim Ark has had huge repercussions on the direction of our country.
*******************************************************
[Ed. I don’t believe Obama is a 14th Amendment citizen, nor do I believe anchor babies are 14th Amendment citizens – as far as Wong Kim Ark is concerned. WKA is very limited. It’s certainly limited to children born of parents who were permanently domiciled in the US. Obama’s father never was so domiciled here so it’s an open question whether Wong Kim Ark applies to Obama. OK, his mother was a US citizen, but Wong Kim Ark discusses “parents”… and the parents are supposed to be permanently domiciled here in the US. Obama’s father wasn’t.

I understand that many people will feel and argue that WKA should apply to obama because of his mother’s US citizenship – but the fact remains, SCOTUS has never determined this issue.

Also, WKA by the very wording of its holding is strictly limited to the “single question presented” and that had to do with a child born of Chinese nationals who by treaty were not allowed to naturalize as US citizens. This meant that the child, if not held to be a 14th Amendment citizen, would not be able to naturalize as a US citizen even though he was born here. One could argue that WKA only applied to this very limited group of persons

– children born of Chinese nationals permanently domiciled in the US

Since Obama’s father was never permanently domiciled here, Obama may not be a Constitutional US citizen according to the strict interpretation of Wong Kim Ark.

BUT PERHAPS I WAS WRONG ABOUT OBAMA BEING A STATUTORY CITIZEN IF HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII.

THANK YOU FOR DRAWING THIS TO MY ATTENTION.

I think I may have just been bamboozled by the State Department’s Foreign Affairs MANUAL which says
#############################################
7 FAM 1117 LEGISLATION REGARDING CITIZENSHIP BY BIRTH IN THE UNITED STATES
(TL:CON-64; 11-30-95)

a. The citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment is essentially restated in Section 201(a) of the Nationality Act of 1940 (NA) and in Section 301(a) [formerly Section
301(a)(1)] of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA).

b. The current section of law that governs the acquisition of citizenship by birth in the
United States is Section 301 INA, which states:

Sec. 301. The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) A person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;
(b) a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian or
other aboriginal tribe, Provided, that the granting of citizenship under this subsection
shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right to tribal or other property;…
(f) a person of unknown parentage found in the United States while under the age of
five years, until shown, prior to his attaining the age of twenty-one years, not to have
been born in the United States;…

c. The provisions of Section 201(a) and (b) NA were identical to those of Section
301(a) and (b) INA. The differences between Section 201(f) NA and Section 301(f) INA are discussed in section 7 FAM 1118 .

d. All children born in and subject, at the time of birth, to the jurisdiction of the United States acquire U.S. citizenship at birth even if their parents were in the United States illegally at the time of birth.
#############################################
Look at “d.” just above — here it is again

“d. All children born in and subject, at the time of birth, to the jurisdiction of the United
States acquire U.S. citizenship at birth even if their parents were in the United States
illegally at the time of birth.”

That’s NOT listed in the statute, but the FAM makes it appear as if it is listed in the statute.

GET THE F-IN HELL OUT OF MY WAY STATE DEPARTMENT!

This really gets me angry. I’ve been bamboozled. I can admit it. leo got it wrong on this one. If Wong Kim Ark doesn’t make Obama a US citizen then he’s not a US citizen at all.

I’m kind of blow away right now. Leo needs a cup of tea.

WTF?

I thought that section “d.” was part of Section 301 of the INA and I thought it made all those anchor babies US citizens by statue in that I assumed Congress had decided to take the Wong Kim Ark holding and stretch it to cover the children of all persons born here from non-domiciled alien visitors (here for vacation or temporary reasons) all the way to the children of illegals. And damn it, doesn’t it read that way?

This is mindblowing.

The gloves are coming off now people. Forget NBC, it appears to me that even if Obama was born in Hawaii, we have no legal precedent making him a US citizen. Stay tuned.]

[Ed. They’ve won. The Constitution is dead. You know it and I know it. Futhermore, I know it so much that I’m getting ready to close up shop here. That’s why I’ve been so busy lately. I want to get it all on the record. Publish the undead revolution stuff, do my report on Obama’s current British status and then I feel that my work is done.

“I’m not into beating a dead horse. I’m going to live my life to its fullest and move on. I’ve done all I can do. The people get what they want and they certainly dont want the law. The people get what they settle for. They don’t respect the protections of the framers and one day in the not so distant future the framers will be vindicated in that their worst fears will have been realized as this nation is dismantled and all sovereignty and liberty are taken away forever. And I mean, forever. The Constitution is the only thing standing in the way of the coming world government and in my opinion the coming one world religion. For that is the end game.”

Hey Troy – Leo also said this:
************************
Yeah, I know…He gets in these little defeatist moods from time to time and then bounces back…Keep an eye on him and his blog…He isn’t done yet…He has too much of a competitive spirit and can’t stand to lose…With every passing week he strengthens his case….The right opportunity will eventually prsent itself to him and he will pounce…You’ll see.

Folks, please watch this very carefully in the coming month of Sep when these talks will begin.

If this goes the way I suspect it will go – we are talking “COVENANT.”

This comes to me from a Christian prophecy site that I visit. They correlate current events to prophecy. I won’t post the site unless someone is interested. Not everyone is into this kind of thing.

“Netanyahu says Israel had taken steps in easing Palestinian movement in the West Bank by lifting roadblocks and showed its willingness to make peace by expressing support for a Palestinian state. The Israeli leader said it was now incumbent on the Palestinians to demonstrate “courageous leadership.” “We hope to move forward in the next months and weeks,” said the Israeli leader.” “With the help of our friends in the U.S., Britain and elsewhere we can achieve progress that will confound the cynics and surprise the world,” he added. He urged the Palestinian leadership to move forward in a “courageous” way and tell their people: “It’s over, there is going to be real, final peace.”

Embargo Fever
One would think that after Franklin Roosevelt caused the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor from his oil embargo, that in a nuclear age some bonehead in the White House posing as Franklin Roosevelt with that penguin cig holder would know enough not to be dealing that card on Iran.

Yet Obama in paying off his counterfeit debts of 300 million dollars to Mooselums has now rigged a plan where Jews will delay building on the West Bank for one year while neo Syrian Philistines get vacuous promises again in exchange America pushes an embargo in the United Nations which is an act of absolute war on Iran.

Ask yourself if Russia, China and Europe went to the UN and voted against the United States to have any oil sales (yes people America sells oceans of clean sweet crude to Japan while we burn that sulphur chit from Venezuela) and would not be able to import any oil.
Of course such actions would ruin the United States in months, so our citizenry would be screaming this was an act of war and America would be forced to start a war, just like Japan did in response to Franklin Roosevelt’s oil embargo of the 1930’s.

This is what is being fomented by Bearick Huxxxein Obama against the Persian Islamocommunists who are a nuclear power. Considering it was Iran which blew TWA Flight 800 out of the sky and it was Iran which blew French Flight 447 out of the sky, does it really make a great deal of sense to poke a lion in the nose with a stick outside it’s cage before declawing, defanging and chaining the thing?

It should be noted that Saddam Hussein was not just sitting around waiting to be toppled. Records recovered in Iraq show he was speaking about using West Nile as a bioweapon against America, right before West Nile showed up in the United States, which was spread east to west along the interest ate highway system………and not north and south in bird migratory patterns as it should have.

So does one think that Iran is just going to sit there and wait to be destroyed by an Obama embargo, or perhaps they will like every nation an embargo has been used against just might start a war or might just start a terror war?
What do you think the American 1776 war started out as, but an embargo war over British tea.

I really do not see any of this ending good for the United States or the people in the Middle East. It is now in Iran’s interests to stage a weapons of mass destruction in various locations to give the United States, western Europe and Jews something else to chew on.

From the Israeli Air Force practicing for runs against not just Iran, but Syria, the stage is set for the Syrians who have Saddam Hussein’s biological reserves in store and on top of their Russian made missiles, to also act out badly.

This is but a continuing saga of the worst of policies started by that Zbigniew Brzezinski who installed this maniac mess in Iraq with British communists. For all practical purposes the Persian Islamocommunists have been the 51st Brzezinski state in murder, mayhem and mania against the United States serving his warped interests.

The Persians now have several violent options to engage or be destroyed. Their policy will be to take masses of hostages as they have shown their resolve to do. Their policy will be to activate sleeper cells to engage in mass murder and disruption of western infrastructure.
In addition, their policy as stated will be to give America something to deal with to take Iran off the front burner and that of course would mean a biological or nuclear attack, in preference in New York as in America, Los Angeles can burn down, but when it is New York, it is the news of the nation.

This is the scenario Japan was forced into by embargo. It is a worthless policy as it does nothing to take the bite out of the lion first.

So in all logic knowing this, it is logical to conclude that the Obama policy on Iran is designed as all Brzezinski policy to engage the Iranians into attacking America.
CIA reports conclusively warned that if the Shah was allowed into the United States that American hostages would be taken…….and they were.
Brzezinski had intended a hostage rescue to show the Soviets, the American ability to rapid response, but only constructed a disaster.

The same holds true with the Marine bombing in Lebanon, in the CIA warned of the attack, and yet troops were allowed in and Ronald Reagan was left with egg on his face.
The man in charge of that attack and others is said to be Iranian Prime Minister Mousavi, the man the US in 2007 was backing as the alternative to Ahmadinejad.

It all keeps spiraling deeper as the policy from Obama is designed to bring about attacks upon the United States and the Israeli state.

Obama will make grand peace announcements of people agreeing to do nothing with his declaring economic warfare on Iran. Iran historically then resorts to terrorism in inflicting harm on the United States and doing it so heinously that they always get off without retaliation as their man in DC, Brzezinski is their man in DC Obama’s court.

Is New York City a nuclear crater, children on the east coast dying of cancer for 50 years and a several trillion dollar clean up bankrupting the bankrupt Obamerika worth an Obama embargo?

Better start doing the calculations America as this is signed on the dotted line by George Mitchell and Persian time clock is being forced to act now or die later. Their only alternative in this Obama policy is to murder Americans now and live until later.http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2009/08/embargo-fever.html

George Soros drilling oil in Brazil looks more and more interesting does it not as explained here in developing an oil supply away from a nuclear polluted Middle East.
They are preparing for this as George Soros only drills on a sure sale at an immense profit.

Gee, and it was George Soros who Obama met with first and Teddy Kennedy second as his political mentor.

The national billboard campaign asking “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” could be getting a boost from a popular radio station that might put up its own billboard asking the same question.

Peter Boyles, who hosts the top-rated morning program on Denver’s KHOW-AM, said on his broadcast today that he’ll ask permission to post the message questioning the constitutional eligibility of President Obama.

“I’m serious as a heart attack,” Boyles said. “Should we have a billboard? My answer is yes, but we must have approval and I will ask for it.”

Boyles, who has been fascinated with the president’s refusal to release his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate to verify his qualification to serve as commander in chief, has dedicated many hours of his program in recent weeks to discussion of all sides of the eligibility issue, much of which has been based on WorldNetDaily’s extensive coverage.

He’s seen WND’s billboards pop up across America, including the latest in front of the Mandalay Bay resort on the Las Vegas Strip, and said he has not heard of any other radio station in the U.S. posting a similar placard.

“Maybe we could be a league leader,” Boyles said. “I think it’d be fun.”

Send to your Congressman/Governors, and/or those that you believe would be interested in knowing about or attending this hearing. It is a critical matter of crtical importance. The Constitution and requirements for eligibility should be upheld .. no one should get a free pass .. no one is above the Constitution or above the Law.

This hearing, if motion is granted, would see to that by court-order demanding pertinent records from places that have them, including Occidental College, Columbia U., State of Hawaii and so on.

1 Kings 8:31,32: When a man wrongs his neighbor and is required …….act. Judge between your servants, condemning the guilty and bringing down on his own head what he has done. Declare the innocent not guilty, and so establish his innocence.

1 Corinthians 6:2,3: Do you not know that the saints (all those in Christ) will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

All through the Bible, we are called upon to make proper judgments. We are expected to discern between what is right and what is not. We are called upon to speak the truth. How can anyone be held accountable in the absence of judgment? Would you suggest that no one should be admonished? I can not say who is in God’s Grace, for only God knows a man’s heart…until God reveals that to us when the time comes. We are called upon to first get the plank out of our own eye.

I have every right to judge actions. I have every right to express my honest witness. If I fail to forgive, I bring judgment upon myself and lose my clear vision of truth around me and in me. But I must judge if I am not to cast pearls to swine and I must judge if I am to be not of the world. Expressing one’s discerned opinion is not the same as condemning a soul. That is not however an excuse to gossip.

I am a sinner and must be very careful with my words…but I must also speak the truth as I see it.

Bob Campbell at AmericanGrandJury.org recently posted the following from Gerry Donaldson, constitutional activist and central Texas director for ResistNet.com, who has apparently garnered 1 million signatures for a petition to be sent to authorities in Texas essentially demanding sovereignty or secession:

Understanding top-down control

Obama stands before the American flag

Obama stands before Soviet Union flag

More and more people are starting to “get it”. It’s not about right or left, but about America being dismantled from the inside out.

It is entire conglomorate of partnerships formed over the last 60 years in nearly every verticle market that affect what you see and hear now. It is a Communist agenda. Don’t take it from me, but take it from the Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963:

Do away with all loyalty oaths.

In progress

Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States .

One party had to be chosen for the Communist party to infiltrate (Commuist Party USA CPUSA – 1960s circa). The Democrat has been captured the most thus far.

Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

The whole Bill Ayers and Obama education funded and trained network. CPUSA home-base was in Chicago in the 1960’s. Hawaii became a second base for those that fled Chicago from being investigated in the 1960s.

Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

Done. ABC, CNN, NBC and most of FOX.

Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

Done.

Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

In progress

Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

Done (Obama did just that .. more than once)

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. 39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

In progress – from Police to Obama’s “Civilian Police”

Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

In progress

Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.

Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

I am sorry if I have offended anyone by the statement if made concerning Ted (n my opinion he was a greedy power monger who thought he was above the law.) But I would like to explain that – I remember the summer of 1969 very well. I was stunned when I heard that he had been in an accident and a young woman was killed and grateful that he was spared after such tragic losses in that family. But then I began to hear what happened. He was drunk – OK – but he was driving – he left the scene – didn’t tell anyone until the next day. Could Mary Jo been saved – maybe – but the point is he did nothing. He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and got only 2 months suspended sentence. Had this been any other person besides Ted they would have been charged with manslaughter – why – he was driving. So that is why I said that I think he thinks he was above the law.

I did however admire the man for many things he accomplished. But it is undeniably true he had many flaws as we all do. To me his biggest flaw was that he pushed too far to the left. John and Robert were not like that. Had Ted been more like his brothers he may have been president.

So I pray that he has found peace from all his trials and tribulations.

Now I will only say one thing more in regards to the “judgment” conversation and not mention it again. When Jesus told us not to judge he was telling us not to judge hypocritically. Matthew 7:2-5 states “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” I don’t like to use the word judge – I would rather look at it from the stand point of “pointing out.” That is what Jesus tells us to do and to confront the person with the problem. In that we are to “judge” sin, but always with the goal of presenting the solution for sin and its consequences. So because I am not always able to confront and provide solutions, I tend to not “judge” per say but rather “point out.”

Again I apologize if I have offended anyone here. I too Tenacity am a sinner, but I am forgiven by God’s Grace. And that my good people is what we truly must be thankful for – God’s Grace.

I posted his ramadam message earlier but the headline here is something my hubby and I have talked about several times. The obammys are not going to church — why isn’t the media talking about that. He went once to St. Johns (Episcopal) which is right across from WH — not a word since. I guess he misses his mentor “the reverend wrong.”

If Team Obama could send their ACORN foot soldiers into taxpayer-funded schools to collect Census data, they would.

Instead, they’re turning your own children into proxy Census collectors. Specifically targeted: Bilingual children whom the government is relying on to reach non-English-speaking parents. (See my April 3, 2009 column: Obama Census – No Illegal Alien Left Behind.)

The White House is also joining with Sesame Street to help preschoolers evangelize about the Census to their parents.

Via USA Today:

Anyone tempted to ignore the 2010 Census will have a tough time doing it — especially if they have kids in school.

The government has launched Census in Schools, an all-out campaign targeting superintendents, principals, teachers, students and, indirectly, parents, as schools open across the nation this month and next. The message: The Census is coming and here’s why everyone should care.

The goal is to send posters, teaching guides, maps and lesson plans to every school in the nation, Puerto Rico and U.S. island territories to encourage everyone to participate in the national count. The materials will land in more than 118,000 schools and reach 56 million students.

“It’s great to reach the children because children are such strong voices in their homes,” says Renee Jefferson-Copeland, chief of the Census schools program. “In households that are linguistically isolated, they can express the information to their parents.”

…Between January and March, the Census Bureau will help plan a week of Census education in schools. During Census Week, teachers will devote 15 minutes every day for five days to the topic by discussing such things as civic participation, confidentiality or geography.
ABC stands for Activate Barack’s Cadre!

And in related schoolkid exploitation news:

The United Nations is recommending that children as young as five receive mandatory sexual education that would teach even pre-kindergarteners about masturbation and topics like gender violence.

The U.N.’s Economic, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released a 98-page report in June offering a universal lesson plan for kids ranging in age from 5-18, an
“informed approach to effective sex, relationships” and HIV education that they say is essential for “all young people.”

The U.N. insists the program is “age appropriate,” but critics say it’s exposing kids to sex far too early, and offers up abstract ideas — like “transphobia” — they might not even understand.

“At that age they should be learning about … the proper name of certain parts of their bodies,” said Michelle Turner, president of Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, “certainly not about masturbation.”

Turner was disturbed by UNESCO’s plans to explain to children as young as nine about the safety of legal abortions, and to advocate and “promote the right to and access to safe abortion” for everyone over the age of 15.

The real US unemployment rate is 16 percent if persons who have dropped out of the labor pool and those working less than they would like are counted, a Federal Reserve official said Wednesday.

“If one considers the people who would like a job but have stopped looking — so-called discouraged workers — and those who are working fewer hours than they want, the unemployment rate would move from the official 9.4 percent to 16 percent, said Atlanta Fed chief Dennis Lockhart.

Feds go hog wild promoting swine-flu shots
CDC spends $16 million on ‘outreach’ to convince Americans to get vaccine
——————————————————————————–
Posted: August 27, 2009

With plush swine-flu toys stocked on its gift-shop shelves, citizens earning $50 to attend forums on the virus and an additional $50 for those willing to take a vaccine, it’s a $16 million swine-flu shot bonanza hosted by the federal Center for Disease Control.

As part of a massive public relations and research campaign, the CDC has been hosting as many as 10 swine flu forums in nine U.S. cities before Labor Day – and it is shelling out as much as $50,000 for a program that pays citizens $50 when they preregister and attend.

Along with a health care reform bill, it would be a fitting tribute to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) if Congress could act on his other great unfinished cause: immigration reform.

For all his liberal Democratic passion, Kennedy understood — as few of his colleagues seem to nowadays — the importance of working on a bipartisan basis to get legislation passed.

He worked with President George W. Bush to pass No Child Left Behind education reform and a Medicare prescription drug law, though he ultimately opposed the final bill as insufficiently generous.

Kennedy’s death undoubtedly will elicit calls to get health care reform legislation passed in his memory, but reforming the immigration system was also one of his major goals yet unreached…

…Obama campaigned in 2008 promising that comprehensive immigration reform would be on his first-year agenda, but during a trip to Mexico this month, he said it had to be put off until 2009, an election year.

The administration is certain to call for swift action on health care reform as a tribute to Kennedy. But it also should accelerate work on immigration reform in his name.

The mad rush to capitalize on Kennedy’s death is yet the latest manifestation of Rahm Emanuel’s decree to never allow a crisis to go to waste.

Keep it up, assholes!!!…Just keep going with your BS…If I was this guy, I would’ve have tried to strike up a deal with the jerk; I’ll show you my ID and if I’m a legitimate constituent from your district then you have to resign from Congress….Now Congressman, would you like to make a deal?

Dr. Utopia’s Attorney General, race-baiter Eric Holder, lives and breathes every night to investigate and attack the CIA, a body charged with keeping this nation safe from foreign harm. That’s a priority for Holder, and something Dr. Utopia himself wanted pushed from day one of his administration: go after the good guys, and hurt those who protect us. That’s the liberal way. Meanwhile, Holder orders the investigation into future Arby’s assistant manager (and known curly-fries addict) Bill Richardson (on corruption charges) effectively killed.

One of Dr. Utopia’s primary allies and surrogate speakers let off the hook for prosecutable offenses in New Mexico…while the Justice Department instead purposefully chooses to spend its time, money, and other resources attacking the CIA.

Just watch…John Edwards will similarly be let off the hook for embezzling campaign funds to pay for his mistress, Rielle “Lisa Druck” Hunter.

Every day, liberal Democrats prove to this country that they cannot be trusted and should not be running this government.

And now that he’s free of any prosecution, thanks to his pal in the White House, Richardson’s appetite should return to pre-investigation status quo swiftly. Don’t say you weren’t warned to never come between this glutton and the multitude of readily-available curly-fried food littering the highways of New Mexico.

Wall St. Journal Also Confirms House Health Care Bill Has Tax-Funded Abortions

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The Wall St. Journal is the latest mainstream media outlet to confirm what pro-life advocates have been saying for months. It has acknowledged that the House version of the government-run health care plan allows for taxpayer financing of abortions.

Although President Barack Obama has accused pro-life advocates of lying and leading pro-abortion groups deny that abortion funding is in the bill, pro-life advocates have said as much.

On the House side of Congress, they point to an amendment that not only explicitly authorizes funding, but mandates abortion coverage in the system HR 3200 creates.

Today, the WSJ confirms that provision, known as the Capps amendment, paves the way for making taxpayers fund abortions with the money they contribute to the government-run system.

“An amendment approved by the House Energy and Commerce Committee would allow coverage of abortion,” the respected financial newspaper reported. WSJ added that the taxpayer money paying for abortions would “come from the portion of the premiums that are paid by the individuals.”

“A sliver of those monthly premiums would be segregated and abortion services would be reimbursed from that separate account,” the Journal indicated.

“The amendment also says there would have to be at least one plan that covers abortion and one that doesn’t in every part of the country,” the Journal adds.

The confirmation from the Journal follows an Associated Press report with the headline, “Gov’t insurance would allow coverage for abortion.”

“Health care legislation before Congress would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions, a decision that would affect millions of women and recast federal policy on the divisive issue,” AP indicated earlier this month.

AP admitted that the Capps amendment “would allow the public plan to cover abortion” with “dollars from beneficiary premiums.” It added, “Likewise, private plans in the new insurance exchange could opt to cover abortion.”

Then, Time magazine also confirmed what pro-life advocates have been saying.

“The health-care reform proposed by House Democrats, if enacted, would in fact mark a significant change in the Federal Government’s role in the financing of abortions,” Time explained.

The main House bill, HR 3200, “does find a way for the Federal Government to expand the coverage of abortion services through a government-run program — the so-called public option.”

Finally, the Washington Times jumped in the discussion this week and acknowledged that taxpayer-funding of abortion and insurance coverage mandates appear in the government-run health care bills.

“President Obama isn’t being straight when he says current health care proposals don’t provide government funding for abortion. They do,” the Times newspaper said Monday. “If Democratic plans are passed, your taxes will pay for abortions.”

Grammy,
S/Ob hasn’t gone to church ever that I know of. He has attended gatherings of social intellectuals that embrace a variety of bazaar philosophies, including all world religions. The difference between a congregational church (Trinity United) and an Episcopal group is that there is more formality and liturgy in the latter. Either is a perfect place for a Muslim to hide. If this truth offends someone, so be it, it is truth and that is my judgment of the matter.
